“I know AIDS is out there; I have seen and lived with it. If I could speak to the world, I would thank those people that have helped children like me. Because of them I have three meals, a safe, warm place to sleep, an education, and most of all I have people
around me that love and care for me. I am very thankful for that.”--Frida, an orphan living at the UNICEF-supported Anglican Children’s Project in
Lusaka, Zambia.
