As we approach the one-year anniversary of President Bushs $15 billion AIDS promise, we must keep in our hearts and minds the millions of people worldwide who are infected with HIV/AIDS," said Dr. Bruce Wilkinson, best-selling author of The Prayer of Jabez and numerous other books. We need to do everything possible to help alleviate the suffering of the worlds poor." For the past year and half, Wilkinson, through his organization Dream for Africa", has been working with the leaders of several sub-Saharan African nations, and at their request, has instigated a series of ongoing programs to alleviate hunger and educate the population on AIDS prevention.
