In keeping with the HFL goal
of ending the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS, Hijltje Vink, author of Brenda
Has a Dragon in Her Blood, generously sent us her remaining French
language picture books for a worthy cause.
Having read our blogs (see
Blogs 9-18-12; 10-28-12; 9-2-13) an HFL friend requested our help. Thanks to
Hijltje’s kindness, he will soon be traveling to Haiti and will distribute the
books to needy HIV+ preschoolers.
SA children with HIV/AIDS are often
discriminated against and shunned by family members. HFL is intent on helping youth end the stigma associated with this
disease so they can live productive lives.
This is another example of ‘Friends helping Friends’ with a worthy
cause.
Thank you, Hijltje and
Brenda!
