more than 38 million people around the world are infected by HIV/AIDS. left untreated, AIDS leads to an early death for people in their most productive years who are needed to raise crops and families, teach school and care for the sick.
around the world, 104 million children do not go to grade school, because their parents cannot afford fees, books or uniforms for their children.
ONE billion people survive on less than $1 a day. ONE person in seven has no access to clean water for drinking, cooking or washing.
in Africa, 12 million children have already lost ONE or both parents to AIDS.

ONE voice can make a difference. history has proven that. just this week Rosa Parks passed away. her voice made a difference simply because she stood up for what was right. she fought for equality and was among the first to voice her opinion.
we can fight to see poverty become history. ONE voice, ONE life, can make all the difference in the world.
