There is a lot of mention of HIV/AIDS in the news. Much of it seems hopeless and depressing. But the truth is there is hope! The truth is that God has called us as Christians to care for the sick, to bring hope to the hopeless. Join us this summer in Durban, South Africa as we bring hope among the AIDS community. 

The objective of AIDeS in Africa is to talk about AIDS and act on what we say, by going to visit the sick, bringing hope to the hopeless and awareness to the community about AIDS. We will work with Good News Ministries in Ntusuma, a township of 500,000 Zulu, formerly a squatter's camp of which 47% are infected with HIV.

YWAM Madison and several other University of Wisconsin student organizations worked hard to raise awareness of the AIDS crisis in Africa. On  Tuesday, April 8, two thousand students were "orphans" on campus, wearing bright orange t-shirts.

The goal of the ORPHAN campaign is to raise awareness about the AIDS pandemic in Africa and to promote action. One out of every 20 children in sub-saharan Africa is orphaned by AIDS - 12 million children. To represent this number, 1 out of every 20 students on campus were wearing orange ORPHAN  T-shirts on Tuesday April 8.  Friday, four thousand students participated--showing that if we don't do something now, the amount of AIDS orphans will double in only eight years.
