Thursday marks World Aids Day. You cannot chose to escape this day here in Cape Town, South Africa, you can no longer turn a blind eye and hope it will go away. An estimated 4.5 million South Africans were living with HIV in 2000. An estimated 6 million people are expected to die of AIDS related illnesses in the next 10 years.

More media attention has been reported on Mbeki’s controversial statements on HIV and Aids then the tremendous work non-profit organisations and individuals have been doing, trying to combat this disease. But they need our help!
