In a perfect world, we’d like to be able to shield children from hurt and harm. In the real world, children, even relatively fortunate ones, may experience accidents, injury, illness, and loss of loved ones. Children unfortunate enough to live in unsafe environments live through abuse, neglect, and threats to their well-being and even their life.

Sr. Mary Elizabeth Lloyd - AIDS Orphans Rising

Victor Volkman — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 22:23:30 +0000

Juanita Watson of Inside Scoop Live! interviews Sister Mary Elizabeth Lloyd, author of the new book AIDS Orphans Rising: What You Should Know and What You Can Do to Help them Succeed. Sister Mary Elizabeth Lloyd has been helping the orphans and the Child Headed Households of the missions of the Religious Teachers Filippini for the past 12 years. Her experiences in Albania, Brazil, Ethiopia, Eritrea and India have spurred her on to produce this work. Sister Mary Elizabeth holds a doctorate degree in Nutrition and Public Health from Columbia University. 100% of the profits from this book will go to help the orphans.

Every 14 seconds a Child Headed Household is formed

The death of parents from AIDS leaves behind little children, often four or five of them, who desperately want to stay together as a family. In the literature, they call them Child Headed Households. Imagine watching your mother and father slowly die before your eyes, leaving you to bury them and then to raise and care for your younger brothers and sisters. AIDS Orphans Rising takes you through the daily lives of these children.By 2010, there will be 25,000,000 AIDS orphans! Left alone, they will be uneducated, disenfranchised, and unwanted: ripe candidates for radicalization and exploitation by dictators and terrorists. If good people like yourself do not reach out to these children so they can get love, an education and set up in some profitable enterprise, civilization will deteriorate to a point that you will not even recognize it.

David W. Powell on Coping With Caregiving

Victor Volkman — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 21:43:29 +0000

Jacqueline Marcell interviews David W. Powell, author of My Tour In Hell: A Marine’s Battle with Combat Trauma on Coping With Caregiving airdate 12/08/2007. He’s been a guest on programs such as “The Pentagon Channel” and “Retirement Living TV Network.” David served as a rocket man with the US Marines in Vietnam from 1967 to ’68 and subsequently suffered for two decades with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Now his mission is to educate people about the effects of PTSD and how to find help.

Upon returning to civilian life after a two year enlistment in the Marines, David found himself with nightmares during sleep, intrusive thoughts while awake, a hypervigilant stance combined with an exaggerated startle reaction, and a seeming inability to control basic emotions like anger and sadness. The price he paid for what would only be diagnosed decades later as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder was broken marriages and relationships, inability to hold a job, uncontrollable rage, and finally bankruptcy. David’s journey of redemption will be inspirational to anyone who is a veteran or has a loved one who has served.
