Starting Over in South Africa

http://www.startingoverinsouthafrica.com

In South Africa, many of us have had to start over in some way or another, particularly in mindset. We have had to adjust to ways of making a living with a new set of rules, new social habits as a result of the omnipresent threat of crime and, in too many cases, starting over from scratch because of both. The purpose of this site is to share some useful information and useful links pertaining to daily life here.

Well written with a lot of information. I feel the same regarding babies and children with AIDS. Everything should be done to prevent AIDS in children. Funds in South Africa are short as there are so many holes for the money to fall in.
