Sunday Morning Program: Every Child is Our Child

More than 14 million children under 15 in Africa have lost one or both parents to AIDS. According to the United Nations, that number will rise to at least 35 million children by the year 2010. The scope of this human tragedy is overwhelming. What can one person, or one congregation, do? Plenty!
The UU United Nations Office members, have begun by making these children our priority. As part of UU-UNO mission, Every Child is Our Child Program focuses on children made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS and works toward achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of universal primary education, fighting HIV/AIDS, reducing hunger and poverty, and promoting gender equality. This effort is guided by our partnership with the Queen Mothers Association in the Manya Krobo region of Eastern Ghana.  You can hear about this program at our April 1st Sunday Service as Genia Peterson tells us about the Every Child is Our Child program and her visits to Africa to work with this effort by the UU office at the United Nations.  Please join us at 9 am or 11 am for her presentation.
