AIDS In Afica
I watched a Video, Hidden Faces of AIDS (World Vision)
A woman in Malawi wanted her kids to die before her because no one was there to take care of them. It was really sad because no one should want their kids to die before them but it was probably the most loving option.
It felt like everyone had AIDS in Africa. I’m glad we are not suffering from AIDS. I saw that Africa had the largest AIDS population in the world.
Facts from movie
AIDS is the largest humanitarian crisis ever
3 million people die every year
250,000 die every month
57,533 people die every week
8,219 people die every day
5 people die every minute
But no statistic can help you understand the suffering

topic choice
I chose political and social struggles in Africa because, I want to know more about Africa and what happens in Africa. I saw a video clip of the Blood Diamond movie and I have never seen anything like that before and it was sad and I just wanted to learn more about it. I didn't know that people fight like that everyday and that's how they live.
