What a beautiful smile. It just touches your heart and flips it inside out doesn't it? In Africa, starvation has almost surpassed the Aids epidemic and the biggest issue they face today is clean water and food. There are severe problems in Africa, and specifically, Swaziland.
The current life expectancy in Swaziland is 32.23 years old, and according to the CIA, it holds the number one death rate in the entire world. The Aids epidemic has plagued 190,000 people in a nation of only a little over 1 million people. It is is quickly spreading across this country, and because of the death of so many people, one in every five children are now orphans.
