James: (On the work done by UNICEF) The situation seems bleak. But in Zambia, half of the population is aged between five and fourteen, and relatively few of this age group are HIV-positive. So, if those children are in school learning about HIV-prevention, then there is a real window of hope for an AIDS-free generation. This is the crux of UNICEF’s global campaign – calling on everyone, world leaders, governments, the private sector and the general public – to unite in action against AIDS and put children at the heart of the global response.
