December 1...

... is a very important day. It's Marketka's birthday (yeah, she's already 4! times flies, seriously...) which means that a very special child was born on that day and we're happy she's here with us! So this wonderful child was born... but... many other died and die every single day... December 1 is also the World AIDS Day. I've been thinking if these international days of whatever are actually good for anything. I don't think so, to be honest, but it inspired me to post this anyway because HIV/AIDS is the real global humanitarian crisis. And that's serious... I've decided to put here some HIV/AIDS awareness campaign videos, I don't care if you like them (though I think they're good) because it isn't the point. Seriously...there's one simple thing that we can do to see children happy as Marketka is. Of course, it won't save everyone because there's too much s*it in the world for which kids suffer so much - wars, poverty... but this is sooooo simple and it actually works!!! Be careful! Be smart! And protect yourself (and thus protect the other people too...) And please, dear Europeans, Americans and other citizens of the so-called First World - don't be mistaken, it's our problem, too. And it's getting far too serious. You think it's an African disease? Ok... But then - why did the numbers of HIV positive Europeans more than doubled from 1998 to 2005? Because it's our problem as well! And we're getting into a lot of trouble! I'm probably a little moved by the ads we saw yesterday at the "Nights of Adeaters" :), so many of them were about the fight against HIV. But I still want to share with you.

Hope you're having a good day! And that you all wish happy birthday to Marketka ;)
