Serena blogs from Africa
In her blog, she also mentions one of Hewlett Packard's initiatives: "We are working with the Starfishgreatheart Charity. (Yes it is one word) This charity helps give aid, care, and housing to kids with AIDS.
"These kids are mostly born with AIDS and they don't have the care that they need or can live with. The kids I met today were orphans. It was so sad to see them in this situation."
Serena went on to say how much fun she had and what an eye-opener it's been.
"I saw a girl that was sooo pretty. I kept thinking she is too pretty and her personality too big to have AIDS. It was sad to see. You realize that AIDS has no discrimination and no barriers. It pained me to see such wonderful kids with sadness in their hearts, but hope and love in their eyes."
Thank you Serena! It's fab that you care.
