There is no me without you

I recently listened to There Is No Me Without You by Melissa Fay Green on CD. It's about AIDS orphans in Ethiopia. Yes - it's a depressing topic. But her writing reminds you why it's important to care. She tells the story of one woman running an orphanage in Addis Ababa but intersperses compelling statistics and history of the epidemic. AIDS doesn't get the front page coverage that it once did and her book reminds us why it should. Even if you don't have time to read the book, check out her web site linked above. And give Bill Clinton some applause for brokering deals for AIDS drugs this week.
