"Children who have lost parents to HIV/AIDS are not only just as deserving of
an education as any other children, but they may need that education even more.
Being part of a school environment will prepare them for the future, while helping
to remove the stigma and discrimination unfortunately associated with AIDS." |
| “What
is needed now are increased efforts to promote youth participation and commitment;
more services aimed at youth; more parental involvement; more education and information,
using schools and other sites; more protection for girls, orphaned children and

Everywhere I go, I see very much the same thing. I see the same compassion for
people who live half a world away. I see the same concern about events beyond
these borders. And, increasingly, I see the same conviction that we can and we
must join together to stop the scourge of AIDS and poverty. History will judge us
on how we respond to the AIDS emergency in Africa....whether we stood around with
watering cans and watched while a whole continent burst into flames....or not.

"Can we watch one-quarter of some countries' people die? Can 27 million orphans be left to fend for themselves? We may not be able to solve the entire problem today, but let us not be discouraged from taking the steps necessary to begin the journey. "
- 118 bishops of the Episcopal Church to President Bush and the US Congress, June 2001
* "We want the world to focus on children whose lives have been devastated by AIDS. The millions of children who are missing their parents; their childhood, their future but most importantly, they are missing YOU. Everyone can make a real difference. Your voice is needed in a global movement that can change their world."
-- Pierce Brosnan
* "Every minute of every day, a child under 15 is infected with HIV - the overwhelming majority of children under 15 who are HIV-positive get infected through their mothers at birth. Without treatment, half of these children die before they reach their second birthday."
-- Gabriel Byrne"I still cannot fathom how difficult it was for the women I met to find out that they were HIV-positive. It is such a courageous undertaking in countries where there is still considerable stigma about the disease. They got tested to ensure that their unborn babies would have a chance of life by being born free of the virus."
-- Gabriel Byrne
* "Stigma hurts. Because of AIDS, children are bullied, isolated and shut out of school. They are missing out on education. They are missing out on medicines. Children are missing your love, care and protection. Join me. And become a stigma buster. UNITE FOR CHILDREN UNITE AGAINST AIDS"
-- Jackie Chan
* “I spent the past week here in India getting a sense of the reality of HIV and AIDS in people’s lives. Fathers and mothers are dying, leaving children with no support.

We cannot afford to become fatigued.”
-- Ralph Fiennes
-- Bob Geldof
"We need to band together as a unit every day, especially to conquer the strength of the AIDS virus."
-- Dustin Hoffman
