Editor's note: CNN Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour traveled to Kenya as part of a special documentary, "Where Have All the Parents Gone?," which looks at the millions of AIDS orphans now living on their own.

ISIOLA, Kenya (CNN) -- AIDS invaded our consciousness 25 years ago. A whole generation around the world has now grown up knowing only a world with AIDS.

Give us an example of a such a mission where high percentages of donations are not eaten up in administrative overhead and I might donate.

I'm not saying that people aren't sick. I'm saying that what qualifies as AIDS has been expanded. AIDS gets attention and money. If you oppose the funding you are labeled as anti- etc. You asked about my research. I quick Yahoo/Google will get you all the info you need.

Samaritan's Purse

African AIDS Action

SOS Children's Villages

There are many more, some of whom are individuals and small groups sponsored by their churches or denominational outreach ministries.

What's the rest of the world doing about the problem?

Hell sis, thats easy. Blaming the USA for being stingy, greedy, uncaring, Zionist tools, etc. You know, the usual crap that the U.S. gets blamed for. That way the world can feel all warm and fuzzy inside without having to do anything.

On a side note, I detest Christiane Amanpour.
