Umesh-ji: That is very generous of you.
I was just wondering how collecting money for that would be used - to cut down on crimes or on reforming the prison system?
A few months ago people were asked here if some of those orphaned children that came to study etc. here could be adopted.
Here are some information sites that shows how children, who not only are HIV/AIDS affected but also have lost their parents to AIDS in many countries in Africa.
"There is an AIDS epidemic engulfing much of Africa. In some countries of Africa it is estimated 40% of the working-age population has contracted HIV, with younger and more successful workers being most likely to be affected. The worst affected countries include Swaziland, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Lesotho. There is an AIDS epidemic engulfing much of Africa.

>Hi,
>
>Today I paid $4 (the only amount in my pcoket then) to a Nigerian who was collecting on behalf of Homeless people in USA. He had mentioned some phrrases about AIDS and jails that prompted me to pay (which he gladly accepted).
>
>I aksed him to repeat what he said about AIDS and jails --and he mentioned that though nobody talks about it here - but ALL those who remain in jail fro more than 5 years --come out carrying AIDS - and 90% of them are Blacks. He said that he did not know how they neded up like this --but he himself was trying to
keep out of jail!!! (if only for this reason)
>
>He did identify me as an Indian but said that I did not look like one -maybe becos I had then just emerged from a haircut in a Black saloon -where only hairstyles for curly hair were on display. He cut my hair in a very different style. He turned my face away from the mirror and brought up the electric machine (instead of the scissors normally used here also) and ploughed right in. Other guys were geeting their hair cut upto only a few millimeter long and same length everywhere. He never used any scissors. Even tapered my mustache into a thin drooping one.

>The Nigerian had been to Delhi where his father worked in the Nigerian emabassy.
