Our adoption agency in Ethiopia has an orphanage for HIV+ children called AHOPE. They are providing love, care and medicine to these precious children. The following is an announcement of their new T-shirts and an effort to raise awareness for these children.
There’s a movement growing. Everyday in the Western world someone’s eyes are opened to the orphan crisis that’s ravaging the developing countries. The problem seems so large and we seem so insignificant. We can make a difference though. By raising awareness we foster a community and as a community we can provide. We’re asking you to help us in creating that community.
World AIDS Orphan Day is May 7th. The AHOPE Store has developed a t-shirt to commemorate this day and the community of supporters that are growing year after year. Please join us in raising awareness. It’s simple. Order our newest t-shirt from the AHOPE Store for a $10 donation. (All proceeds go towards care of the children served by AHOPE.) Wear your shirt as often as possible, and especially on World AIDS Orphan Day. It will serve as a reminder to your community. It may even create a dialogue. That dialogue could open someone’s eyes. You might inspire them to do more, give more. We are asking you to join us in creating a community that is committed to orphan care.

Hey there! Mom told me she ran into you guys! How fun! It sounds like the weekend was really good! I'm jealous! : )
I am THRILLED to hear that you guys are adopting! Us, too! : )
I just read your post about HIV kiddos...I have a close friend with an HIV+ kiddo adopted thru fostercare. He is PRECIOUS! Thru their family, God has helped me remove the label of "HIV KID" and put my focus on the fact that it's a child! My friend has shared a lot of info with me about HIV and it's amazing what good health care can do for these little ones. It's not quite the "untouchable" disease that everyone assumes.
Anyway...this comment is way too long. LOL
I'll look forward to reading about your adoption journey!
Did mom give you my email?
