HIV-affected Communities - Africa and Asia

Many communities around the world are affected by HIV/Aids; but it can sometimes be difficult to imagine what it is like to live with the disease. Over the next seven months author Rhidian Brook, with his wife and two young children, will be travelling the world to live with those communities.

Rhidian's family will be hosted by the Salvation Army, a Christian church with a history of social action among the poor. Rhidian's role is not to be a journalist nor a spokesman for the Salvation Army.

His role is simply to bring the stories of the people he meets to the outside world.
