Please Pray … |
- FOR the health of workers whose income provides food, health care, and education for their families.

- FOR the economic growth of AIDS-affected countries, which impacts the quality of life of current and future generations. An ILO study of 31 African countries showed that by 2015, the countries will have lost $150 billion due to AIDS-related impacts.
- FOR strength and good health of World Vision staff, despite losses and difficulties within their own families because of the AIDS pandemic.
- THAT HIV- and AIDS-infected workers would not experience discrimination or stigmatization in the workplace.
