Syula, a minister for the Church of Christ, says AIDS claims four people per week in his dusty town.
Myths surrounding the disease remain strong and stubborn.
There is reason to despair. In Zambia, women and men, girls and boys are rising against AIDS, seeking nothing less than to change the future of their country, a nation where one in every five adults carries the AIDS virus. He is a minister for the Church of Christ in Kalomo, a town of 5,000 in western Zambia, near the Zimbabwe border. When he preaches the Gospel he so adores, his voice booms and his body shakes. The words of his Lord fill him with jubilation.
