Send joy. Give hope. Each card in this colourfully seasonal collection has been created by children for children affected by HIV/AIDS. 100% of the purchase price goes to supporting pediatric AIDS programs worldwide.

DID YOU KNOW:: MAC has signed with a new organization this year for the AIDS fund. This new org has found a vaccine which prevents the aids virus from being transfered from mother to child !!! and it only takes a small dose to do this, and it's only A DOLLAR! SO, by buying 6 cards for 6 bucks, you are helping to stop the spread of the disease to 6 newborn babies!!! it's that awesome!! EVERYONE needs to buy these! The majority of the proceeds are going to be used where the world needs it most and where the AIDS/HIV virus is present the most: Africa.

Article: Kids helping kids

I thought this was a nice article promoting Kids Helping Kids and it gives some good facts on how far the money goes from the AIDS fund.

Wow that's a lot of stuff it can buy! I knew India was cheap, but not that cheap...thanks for posting!

 

[user2]

That's another big reason to support Viva Glam and the Kids series!
