Facebook Event for Operation Bobbi Bear!

Ian Jopson, a supporter of KCA, is currently hosting a Facebook event to raise awareness and money for Operation Bobbi Bear. This program works in a unique way to console and support victims of child abuse to determine if they have been sexually assaulted. Operation Bobbi Bear provides them with a blank teddy bear, markers and band aids and the children draw and place band aids on the bear to describe what happened to them. This allows Operation Bobbi Bear to determine the extent of the abuse and whether the children should be tested and treated for HIV.

Click on the following link to help make Ian's event a huge success. He has provided several ways to assist Operation Bobbi Bear, as well as photos and videos about Operation Bobbi Bear.

World AIDS Day 2008

Today is World AIDS Day. A day to remember, reflect and respond.

Remember our work is not done. There are still many, many people in the impoverished world without access to these life-saving drugs.

Reflect on those that have died because of lack of medicine but also on our accomplishments everyone of you at Keep a Child Alive have helped to achieve.

Respond to the desperate need of all of those unfortunate. To those of you that have responded to our call, we thank you from our hearts.

This year's journey to our sites in Africa brought us such joy and sorrow. There is still so much to do in one of the most beautiful continents in the world. I have written a diary of my journey - come and read about all of our accomplishments on World AIDS Day.

Please go here - READ MY JOURNAL - see what your support has done for those in Africa and remember that our work is not done.

Peace,
Leigh Blake
