Greetings!
May is a very important month for us with the upcoming World AIDS Orphans Day ( www.worldaidsorphansday.org) on May 7th and Mother's Day on May 11th. With that in mind, we acknowledge the many children in Africa who have lost their own mothers to the AIDS epidemic. In honor of those children and your own loved ones, NextAid celebrates the importance of family with some BIG events that everyone will enjoy!
Thank you for reading!
