I need to write an essay that demonstrates a clear understanding of,
and compassion for the current and future problem of AIDS orphans in
Africa  It needs to be 1200 words or more.  If someone could just give
me good information for this or write something along these lines for
me (:)) that would be great. thanks

"More than 15 million children around the world have lost one or both
parents to HIV/AIDS."

By 2010, predictions range from 20 million to 40 million orphans:

"One of the most alarming speculations is that by the year 2010 there
will be 40 million AIDS orphans in Africa"
