| Assistance for the AIDS Village in Henan
|
|
The AIDS epidemic is spreading rapidly in the lowest
economic stratum of the Chinese society.
The desperately poor people often have no choice but to sell blood in
order to support their families, and many of them contract the deadly disease
through dirty needles. Thin & High has been organizing visits to the AIDS
Village in Henan to understand the issues, and we were shocked to find that only
1% of high school graduates in the Village are able to attend college. We have been providing financial support to the AIDS families and helping to make higher education possible to their children.
