Today we went back to Holy Cross Parish to
meet with Veronika's Place, which is a food distribution place for individuals living with HIV/AIDS. They gave us an amazing presentation and then we
helped hand out food. As I looked at all those faces and heard stories about
how many have been surviving with HIV for the last 10 years I was so proud of
Former President George W. Bush for his implementation, along with Bono, of the
Africa AIDS project. The combination of that program and Veronika's place have
saved more lives than we will ever comprehend.

Then after lunch we
attended local parishioners’ homes in small groups. It was really fun talking
with a local family, but at the same time sad, as their living room area was
smaller then many Americans’ walk-in closets. We ended the day attending a
small Christian community mass.
