Princess Kuzune Zulu
June 2011
It is with great honor we announce Princess Kuzune Zulu as our Dab the AIDS Bear's Angel for June 2011.
She is one of 33 million people living with HIV in our world today. This virus has claimed the lives of her mother and father, baby sister and brother. It has taken the lives of 25 million around the world and orphaned 15 million children.
In the midst of this suffering, she continually remind herself that HIV does not own her or her soul. It is only a visiting stranger in her body. How she chooses to respond is up to her and she chooses to respond by using her voice to fight for those whose voice cannot be heard.
In so many ways living with HIV is a blessing. Perhaps HIV's biggest is the realization we need to make every day count, for time is running out. This to her seems a good lesson to learn, because whether you are a head of state, a church leader, a scientist, a teacher, a nurse, a parent, a patient, a humanitarian worker, a friend, every human being on earth has this in common: our time to make a difference is limited. We must think hard about the purpose of our life and be deliberate about the legacy we leave behind.
We have a choice to make, our generation has it within our grasp to end the senseless pain and suffering brought about through preventable diseases like HIV and AIDS and the others scourges of extreme poverty. The question is, will we? I ask you to join me, to join the movement of people who says, 'Yes! We will do everything in our power to end this suffering on our watch.'
Her goal is to give you the tools to allow you to become part of this movement.
Take it from someone who knows all too well that time is running out: when the years have faded and we have all gone and our grandchildren ask,“What did they do?” what do we want the answer to be? Let us stand together and be counted.
For these and many more reasons, we are honored to announce Princess Kuzune Zulu as our Dab the AIDS Bear's Angel for June 2011.
