Partners Blogcast: "This mother and daughter have AIDS. Their father is gone. Pray."

Steve and Oddny Gumaer started Partners Relief & Development in response to the needs of refugees and displaced people from Burma. This blog is meant to be a more personal stream of conversation than newsletters allow for. The opinions expressed here may not be those of Partners Relief & Development.

This mother and daughter have AIDS. Their father is gone. Pray.

"I took this photo along the Thai-Burma border on Sunday. The mother has aids and contracted it from her husband who is a soldier in Burma. Their daughter was born with this terminal illness. This is not an uncommon story, but it still broke my heart. The daughter is living in a hostel partners supports and her mom works on a corn farm for slave wages. Please pray for the people of Burma.
