World AIDS Day, observed December 1 each year, is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS
pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection. AIDS has killed more than 25 million people, with an estimated 33.2 million people living with HIV, making it one of the most destructive epidemics in recorded history. Despite recent, improved access to antiretroviral treatment and care in many regions of the world, the AIDS epidemic claimed an estimated 3.1 million (between 2.8 and 3.6 million) lives in 2005, of which more than half a million (570,000) were children.

The concept of a World AIDS Day originated at the 1988 World Summit of Ministers of Health on Programmes for AIDS Prevention. Since then, it has been taken up by governments, international organizations and charities around the world.

It is time we help to stop this disease. World Hope is an organization that I have supported before.  It is an organization that is making a difference.  I encourage you to check out the videos below that show how World Hope International is making that difference and they need our help.
