AIDs pandemic

As i was walking to my place of wak, i met this small boy picking guavas that had fallen from a tree very early in the morning and eating them. I was so surprised and something pushed me into questing this boy to know where he came from and why he was dong that. The boy told me he had not eaten for three days. He had a single parent who had AIDs and was very weak to an extent she could not wak to tend for him. The boy was 6 years old and looked mulnourished. I took the boys had, led him to a hotel, bought him tea with some very heavy escort and after that accompanied him to his home where we met the mother lying helpless on the floor. I talk to the mother and lucky enough she openned up and admitted that she had AIDs, something that so many people cannot do. I took her  to the hospital for counselling and collected some ARVs for her and always check on her to ensure she is taking the drugs. I also looked for someone to look after her since i took the boy in my house to stay with him and pay for his school fees.
