AIDS has
created an explosion of orphans; families live in such dire
poverty that they can no longer afford to feed, clothe or educate
their children
With so much death and so little
reason to hope, many farmers worry about ensuring a future for
their children, rather than themselves
However, in many villages,
children don’t even have an opportunity to pursue an education;
many have dropped out of school because their families can no
longer afford the fees
-''Because I spent so
much money when my wife was ill, my children cannot go to school'‘
(AIDS Patient, Donghu, Henan)
