AIDS

One of the subjects i'm taking for this semester is International Marketing. I've learnt alot of things from this subject. I prefer subjects like this rather than subjects that are dead, such as human resource or accounts.

In one of the class sessions, we learnt something about Africa. Africa is a country filled with AIDS victims. That is one place that you want to be extra careful when you go travelling there. What i've learnt about it was: Why are there so many AIDS victims in Africa?

Firstly, can't deny it, sex. Many parts in Africa have prostitutes that offer...free sex!! Men in Africa can pick any girls they want to have sex with, and some, for free! Imagine the value that girls have there in Africa, basically nothing. And how sinful this can become. No reason why AIDS is not a number one killer in Africa.

Secondly, hospitals in some parts of Africa, are dirty! Doctors do not burn or change the needles when injecting. They use used needles to treat different patients. That's why some rich people would take flights to go other places in Africa to see a doctor.

A victim with AIDS

This picture scared the daylight out of me when i first saw it.

Children with AIDS. Poor thing.

Mother and child with AIDS

I can't figure out if this is a woman or a man. But anyhow, a victim with AIDS.

I'm not sure how Africa can help themselves with this problem. I'm not even sure how the world can help Africa in this. But my heart was deeply sad, and a sense of compassion that overwhelmed me, when i heard about this in class.

As much as i would say God bless Malaysia, so will i say, God bless Africa.
