So we have to be realistic. We now have 40 operations underway dealing with AIDS issues in Africa. The consequences of AIDS exceed the disease itself. In Uganda, for example, it's the number of orphans and the number of communities that have been devastated by this disease. In some places, farms aren't being worked.
Nobody remains to inherit the land.
There are also the problems of socializing orphans and other children. Dealing with these issues must fill World Vision's agenda as well as ours. The development business is a long-term project. During the first 30 or 40 years of U.S. independence, for example, there was corruption, misgovernment, slavery, and women couldn't vote. America was not what I would call the epitome of morality.
