Monica Wong of A Pair of Panties and Boxers is volunteering her heart out with FXB International to help promote World AIDS Orphan Day.
When she asked if I could spread the word, I immediately said yes. After all, I’m proud of my readers, people who add their thoughtful worldviews in the comments regularly. Don’t prove me wrong, please retweet or forward this post!
To commemorate World AIDS Orphans Day this year, children from around the world in grades 4-8 are invited to enter in the 2010 World AIDS Orphans Day Essay Contest by submitting a letter sharing their views on the following topic:
