"The United Nations estimates that every 14 seconds, somewhere in the world, another child is orphaned by HIV/AIDS. This means that each day over 6,000 children join the 15 million children worldwide who have already lost one or both parents to this disease."
now, here's proof that one person really can make a difference. check out these 2 short videos about a now 13 year old kid named austin who decided to do something about this and that he could be the difference. starting at the age of 9, he began a now worldwide organization called hoops of hope, and over the last couple years this organization has raised enough money to build a high school and 2 hospitals in zambia, africa; one of the countries hardest hit with AIDS and poverty.
