The Danger of a Single Story

I recently saw the following tweet in my Twitter feed:

CFA TED Tuesday

I paid attention to it because I know and love the CARE for AIDS people and organization and also because I love TED Talks.

If you are not familiar with them, TED talks are short talks that are packed with great info.

I found the talk that CARE for AIDS linked to very interesting. I have definitely been guilty of looking at the world through a single story.

If you have a few minutes, check out the talk.

What did you think of the talk? Any take-aways for you? I’d love for you leave a comment below.

I Need Your Help

My birthday is next week and I’m asking you to help me celebrate it.

According to stats that I recently heard, those diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in Kenya only have a 2 to 5 year life expectancy. Yet, with the right education, resources and empowerment, these same people can live an additional 25 years, sometimes longer.

Many don’t.

The problem is that most patients do not know how to help themselves. They are shunned by their neighbors and community. They do not know how to take advantage of the resources available to them. Many of them just give up.

This doesn’t just affect them. It affects their whole families.

This is a problem.

Last week I saw first hand the work CARE for AIDS is doing in Kenya. In a nutshell, they offer a 9 month program that helps give hope, aid, and spiritual help to those living with HIV/Aids. I met dozens of their past and current clients and can attest that their lives have been forever changed: spiritually, economically and socially.

For my birthday I am asking you to help rewrite the lives and the eternity of those infected. I am asking you to give a one-time donation of $20 to Care For Aids. My goal is that together we can sponsor 3 Kenyans in the program. Here’s how you can do it:

Donate Online | CARE for AIDS
Donate by Mail | CARE for AIDS

Please attach a note that says, “Bobby’s Birthday” so that we can track how much is given.

Together, we can make a difference.

Thanks!

Bobby
