Marie, Kourosh and Chaminda are regular Canadian teens. But they've just won a contest that will send them halfway across the globe to Tanzania, Africa! Brand-new friends. The amazing sounds and smells of Dar es Salaam. An incredible safari with mating lions? Yup. They've sure come a long way from Canada! But the real reason for this trip is a serious one: they've come to see for themselves the devastation that HIV/AIDS has had on children's lives. Outside of Dar es Salaam, they meet Angelina and Veronika ? two little girls who are HIV positive. They're poor. They're ignored by the government, their communities, even their own families. They are the forgotten faces of HIV/AIDS. Stirred by what they've seen, Marie, Kourosh and Chaminda promise to bring their stories back and move the world to action. Their stories will move your world, too.
