Over 70% of the work-force of a mine that we are working at in Botswana is HIV positive, and over 5% of the HIV positives are turning into full AIDS each year. About 25% of the population of South Africa is now reported to be HIV positive.

Two friends of our employees (both 20 something Australian males) have committed suicide in the last 6 months.

Robert Bos writes: "My concern is that so much of our energy and passion is being consumed by this one issue, and our unity is threatened, when there are so many needs, and so much pain, both within the church and the wider society."
