A while ago I volunteered for a couple of days at the World Vision AIDS Experience. It's an eye opening look at how poverty and disease are threatening the future of the developing world, and how we can make a difference.
World Vision are not alone in seeing the problem, but it's interesting how many of the solutions revolve around the role of women in that environment.
With World AIDS day and Thanksgiving fast approaching, stop for a moment and consider the girl effect. What can you do to help fix the problem?
If you don't have time or money to contribute, visit the
Girl Effect site and help spread the word, or put your computer to use to help
crunch the numbers when you're not using it.
