You’re Going to Want to Look at These Pictures


Dec 1st, 2006 11:00 AM EST
By Virginia Simmons


A Time Magazine article has photos of an eight-year old boy in Lesotho before and after he started receiving AIDS medications.


“It’s hard to believe that these photos are of the same little boy. When 8-year-old Bokang Rakabaele arrived at the new pediatric-AIDS clinic in Maseru, the capital city of Lesotho, in May, he weighed less than 20 lbs. and was suffering from AIDS, pneumonia and tuberculosis. Today he’s 18 lbs. heavier, his shy smile has returned, and he plays once again with other kids in the neighborhood. When I visited the clinic in August, Bokang was already on the mend. He was asked through an interpreter why he thought he was feeling so much better, and replied very simply, “It’s the medicine.”


Read the full article here.


The effectiveness of these drugs is mind blowing.


Today, on World AIDS Day, ONE members are calling Congress to ask their representatives to fully fund the President’s $2.8 billon request for PEPFAR and the Senate’s $700 million allocation for the Global Fund. This funding will keep millions of people living with AIDS alive.


It’s World AIDS Day. And my call can save lives. I’m calling now.
