A breakthrough for African children

Article Abstract:

African nations have made child welfare a top priority. Statistics on Africa's children are sad. Only 10% of the world's children live on the continent, yet 4 million of the 13 million yearly child deaths are in Africa. The capability for making a better life for the children exists in Africa. Clean water and basic education can be provided for a child for about $40 annually. Basic nutrition costs only $10 per child each year. Countries have found ways to bring immunization to the children and under the impetus of the 1987 Bamako Initiative started in Mali, countries are speeding up the availability of affordable and sustainable community-based health care. Even warring factions have made corridors of peace to insure that food gets through to children.

AIDS and African-Americans: it's time for action, part 2

Article Abstract:

Transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus among Afro-Americans takes place during sexual intercourse and when the needles or syringes used by an infected person are passed on to others. In discussing the spread of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), it is important to differentiate facts from myths. Teenagers who are most vulnerable to the disease must engage in worthwhile activities and avoid promiscuousness. In essence, the battle against AIDS is a fight for the perpetuation of the Afro-American culture.
