This group is for friends and supporters of AHOPE for Children (www.ahopeforchildren.org), an organization created to care for and advocate for HIV+ children in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. There is an urgent need to expand this organization to serve more children and also to begin community outreach and education projects to reduce the number of children orphaned by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Ethiopia. We hope that participants in this group will learn more about AHOPE’s current mission and future projects and, with this knowledge, be more informed advocates for HIV+ orphans. We also envision this group as a place to share ideas, brainstorm ways to raise funds, communicate with others who share AHOPE’s vision, and to increase public awareness of the needs of HIV+ children in Ethiopia.
