World Aids Day

December 1st was World Aids Day. 6000 children around the world are orphaned by AIDS and war EVERY DAY! My brother Jon, Caleb and I wanted to do something to help. On Saturday morning we and a lot of other people walked 6000 steps to raise money for these children. Although it was really cold and stormy we had a good time and were honored to be able to help children around the world by doing something so simple.

After the walk the Watoto Children’s Choir performed. That really helped to put a face on the static’s. The children in the choir are Ugandan children who have lost one or both parents to Aids. The children were all between 8 and 12 years old. They were so cute and so talented. It was really need to see.

Here are a few pictures from our day….
