AHOPE and Antiretroviral Medication
This is a video showing the children from AHOPE children's orphanage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. AHOPE is a home for children with HIV. These children are blessed to receive the antiretroviral (ARV) medication that they need to stay healthy! You can see by watching this video how their lives are so full because of the opportunities they now have ahead of them. These were children that once would have been condemned to die, but now with this medication, they can plan for their adulthood and make decisions as to what they want to be when they grow up. Because now they *can* grow up!
The video starts immediately after a short commercial. Don't forget to go to the bottom of my screen to turn off the music before trying to watch the video. The story is about 12 minutes long and very moving. You will see some of these children brought to America to make people aware of the results of giving this life saving drug to the children.
