The Amazing Stephen Lewis

It was a programme on our SBS Televison where I first saw Stephen Lewis and it was mandatory viewing for me a Kenyan/Aussie. The show was called Race Against Time and it affected me to my soul. Having been born and raised in Kenya I was not prepared for what I witnessed. I had to do something for the orphans. Stephen is a Canadian and an amazing human being.

We are unable to support his Foundation as all donations need to be tax deductible through Rotary in Australia. However without Stephen we would not be on this journey to help just a few orphans in Africa I only wish we could do more, much more.

The Stephen Lewis Foundation funds community-based initiatives in Africa. Funding works in four areas:
* to provide care at the community level to women who are ill and struggling to survive, so that their lives can be free from pain, humiliation and indignity;
* to assist orphans and other AIDS-affected children in every possible way, from the payment of school fees to the provision of food;
* to support the unsung heroes of Africa, the grandmothers, who bury their own children and care for their orphan grandchildren;
* to support associations of people living with HIV/AIDS — courageous men and women who have openly declared their status - so that they can educate themselves and share information with their broader communities on prevention, treatment, care and the elimination of stigma.
