Philasande  Philasande (4 years) is still too young to say what she feels. But her face and her eyes clearly display the magnitude of her distress.
This little girl is the typical example of the innocent children growing in an area that is stricken by Aids and poverty. How not to be deeply moved when you hear her pain in the tone of her voice? Like all the little girls in the world, Philasande needs to be hugged by a mother and would love to sit on her daddy's lap.
They are millions like her left to themselves.
They live alone in fear, with no comfort and no love.
Can you help little girls like Philasande?

| Xolani |
| Xolani is 13 years old. His dream? To become a doctor. Why? Because Xolani wants to relieve the pain of the people around him. Many members of his family died without any help from medical professionals. The doctors had no choice but to discharge them since they were terminal ill and they simply had no room for them...
Most of his friends are orphans like him. But Xolani believes with all his heart that he will make a difference someday; that he will tackle for good the infernal cycle of death ruining his people through the Aids virus.
He hopes that a sponsor will help him make his dream come true: to study and to become a great doctor.
Will you be this sponsor?

 | Dr Jean-Luc Bertrand
President of Generation Africa | | I spent approximately 2 years in a small Zulu village, in a region where more than 1 out of 2 people have Aids. The truth is brutal: there are now more than one million orphans in South Africa and almost nobody takes care of them.
They have lost their parents, their grandparents, their uncles, their aunts...all their family...If you could see the sad and stray glance of these children !
Europeans and American come on the field to help them: it can be for 1 month or for more than 2 years. Others - and it is quite as important - send money to help us take care of these poor orphans.
Help us, we need you!
In advance, thank you. |
Didier Schott
When I see children who have been abandonned, beaten up, raped, reduced to slavery or sent to fight the war, then anger thunders in me.
And today my sadness increases even more when I see a new generation of orphans in South Africa with a relentless enemy with no feeling chasing them: Aids and its associated diseases that the children will catch: malaria, tuberculosis, pneumonia, etc.
I saw a generation of children with no family, no home, no affection, no future, completely naked... But I also saw men and women of goodwill and proved honesty who decided, with the help of God and the generosity of men, to build day care centres to reach these children. I invite you to come, see, support and transmit what I call
"the challenge of the Western world to save the Generation Africa" |
