Giving Hope for Tomorrow

children sitting in a classroomHaving lived in Africa for nearly two decades, I saw with heartbreaking clarity the devastating impact of HIV-AIDS among the continent’s children.  Literally millions suffer from the infection or have lost parents or loved ones from the disease.  It is to such brokenness that the Children’s AIDS Fund International comes supporting programs in many countries with medical assistance, help and education to combat this horrible contagion.

Through the loving and compassionate arms of CAFI, Children and families in Africa and beyond are being loved, embraced and given hope for their tomorrows.

Today, through the loving and compassionate arms of CAFI, children and families in Africa, and now beyond, are being loved, embraced and given hope for their tomorrows.  Who would not feel humbled and honored to serve on the board of directors of such an organization?  I certainly do!
