I Want To Do My Part...

Listening to: Man in the Mirror-Michael Jackson


Today, I watched one of the most heartbreaking things I've seen in a long time. Me, being a big huge fan of Alicia Keys, was reading up on some of the projects she gets involved in. The "Keep a Child Alive" foundation is probably one of the most well known. It's an organization that provides African people plagued by Aids with the medication that they are unable to afford. Alicia visited three countries- Kenya, Uganda, and South Africa where she learned more about the Aids epidemic & recorded her journey in a documentary called Alicia Keys in Africa: Journey to the Motherland. Two of my best friends come from Uganda and Kenya, so this also raised my interest in the matter. Apparently, Aids originated from monkeys and the disease transferred to humans who ate monkey meat. Isn't that interesting? That's information I've just learned today.
