Sarah's Post

Hi, my name is Sarah Heimerman and I am a member of the Madeline Albright group. Our project focuses on the fight that women in the country of Tanzania face to avoid being infected with the AIDS virus. The number of women and children infected in this country multiplies by ridiculous amounts everyday. These women are being raped in the streets and then orphaning their children, leaving them with no means to care for themselves. This is a subject close to me because I do have some friends who have immigrated to the United States from Tanzania, and they do still have family back in the country. I hope that we can find sufficient information to help inform people of what we can do to help.
