[thankiyou]

about the question of spending American tax payers money in aid of us here in south africa - at this time after decades of receiving from you - we have a few million people more alive than dead and a reasonable health service - largely because of this money. Your name sound to us like empathetic, humane even christian at times. Like the good Book say what price do you pay for a good name?

Glad that the USA was able to help stop AIDS in South Africa. The rate has dropped and many lives are saved! Very good news!

If the sexual conduct could be changed and unmarried people would promise not to have sex, you could save many lives. It’s easy to save yourself and live a happier longer life. Live to see your children and grandchildren grow. That is joy!

South African people have the power in Christ to live by his example and follow the Bible’s teachings for all things, especially family.

The countries of Kenya and Uganda have the Aids rate down to 6-7% due to abstinence - stopping sex. I hope that you can spread that word and save some lives and heartache in South Africa. It is the best way to stop AIDS and all the sexual diseases.

1 husband + 1 wife produces children and no sex-diseases like HIV/AIDS.

God Bless You and yours.

How many were killed by warlords taking US money though? Why is Africa no better off than 50 years ago?

[Beautiful_Gracious_Skies]

Do not listen to that because he is unfamiliar with how the program works in SA.

50 years-

Those issues are very deep and can not be addressed without a long discussion.

This is about stopping the spread of AIDS and progress has been made.

People in the United States believe in donating to good causes. The needs of Africa have been great. I am happy that as a people we could help out.

There isn’t just money flowing to Africa. There are also other ways Americans have helped out.

Private donations of money, time, missionaries, clinics, schools, vaccinations, and other medications, and help with clean water resources have been provided to Africa.

America has been blessed with a good standard of living. It is also noteworthy that when things are tough in the U.S., we as a people continue to give.

Some of us are not big supporters of our government doing this. It is not our government’s job to do this. What the government takes from citizens needs to be spent on very specific things that our Constitution has specified.

Other than that one point, I’m glad people have been generous with their donations. I am very happy that you have seen improvement. Your short note was nice to read.

All the best to you and those who need the help.
