The January 17, 2000 issue of Newsweek contains an excellent cover story on the issue of AIDS orphans in Africa, including Uganda.

Sadly, there is no mention of the involvement of Christians in the effort to meet the needs of the ophans, but it does give some very significant background information.

The article with photographs covers pages 32 to 48.
