Why is Western sponsorship still so important in helping end the stigma and the poverty connected with HIV/AIDS?

Brent talks with Zahara McCoy of ‘Children of Grace’. Zahara grew up in rural Uganda, lost both parents to HIV/AIDS, and was nearly married off as a child before a Christian family in California sponsored her education. Zahara now lives in the US and leads ‘Children of Grace’, a non-profit supporting thousands of Ugandan children.
