Today's blogger is The Chaotic Hammer. He, too, is fasting and praying for and highlighting Compassion International, and specifically HIV/AIDS.
This is actually one of the causes I am considering for Saturday, and it is near to my heart - so this post impacted me greatly. Please take the time to read it. Here are some statistics he starts his post out with:
"1. Every 14 seconds a child is orphaned by AIDS.
2. More than 12 million African children and 15 million children worldwide have lost one or both parents to AIDS.
3. By 2010, it's projected that more than 25 million children worldwide will be orphaned by AIDS.
4. Nine out of 10 children living with AIDS are African.
5.Every minute a child under 15 dies of an AIDS-related illness.
6. Each month, more people die from AIDS than were killed in the Southeast Asia tsunami that shocked the world in late 2004."
Seriously. Read this post.
