People living with AIDS in Africa 
     As I am here blogging and taking my resources and everything around me for granted, there is a little boy in Africa that would give up anything to be in my position. AIDS seems to affect places like the Democratic of Congo in Africa more because of the poor care and environment. There are over 2.6 million people in the DOC suffering from HIV/AIDS today.
    What makes Africa such an attractive place for AIDS? Why is it that AIDS can affect any one in the world but it seems to affect the people of Africa, especially the poorer countries like the Democratic of Congo more? Is it because of the little education? There are many reasons.  
    Many people that are suffering from this disease can't help but blame their surroundings. Many places like DOC are in very bad conditions from politics to the economy. As the man in the video says, the government in DOC doesn't try to do anything about this and has not even put up a shelter home that will help all these people. Another theory that I have is that since education is so low in these places, they do not learn right from wrong and don't realize what harm something as pleasing as sex can do to them. It's hard to survive a disease that its only cure costs thousands of dollars in a third world country.
