Keep A Child Alive

just when we thought that AIDS will never reach us, just when we thought we will breeze through life by performing safe sex, just when we thought AIDS is no big deal in our community...

i caught this film documentary Alicia in Africa, and i thought it would be nice to let people know.

Alicia Keys and Keep a Child Alive, an urgent response to the AIDS pandemic, have produced a brand new documentary featuring Alicia's journey through several HIV affected communities.. even though it's just a 45-minute documentary, i applaud Alicia Keys for being the ambassador for KeepAChildAlive.Org without any hesitation. with soft caring eyes, she embraced children in her arms and tried her best to help with what she could and making the film a success.

i believed the reason why she filmed this documentary isn't any for the media's attention but hoping for media to fix attention on those innocent children so that more help can be reached.

i cried and felt ashamed because the kids are young, however they are strong willed and very optimistic about their future. despite the poverty and the pandemic, they dream and aspire to be responsible adults and inspiring figures of their own future. whereas there are people like me, sitting and down and thinking how cursed her life is blah blah. i knew i learned something valuable today.

let's not give in to complacency. let's not doubt the power of AIDS. if you have the ability, please give helping hands to those who need it more than we do. help the children, give them a deserving life like how we think ours is. if you don't have the ability, it'll be kind if words are spread.

ps: the best thing about this film is that you can catch it free! just head to this link, and watch the entire movie! :)
