Where were you? What did you do? By 2010, one in every four children in Botswana, Burkina Faso, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe will be an orphan. The AIDS crisis in Africa may be the ultimate test of our viability as a world community. “Putting a Face on AIDS in Africa” is an initiative organized by Elon students to respond to this global challenge.
