About this title

About the Author:

Karen Ande has been chronicling the AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa since 2002. She has traveled extensively as a volunteer with NGOs in Kenya and Rwanda photographing community-based projects and the people they serve. Whether working in rural villages or city slums, she has been moved and inspired by the people who daily face the challenges of AIDS and its impact on those they know and love and has raised funds to help support the people and projects introduced in these pages. She lives with her husband Jeff Johnson in San Francisco. Ruthann Richter has been writing about medical issues, including HIV/AIDS, since the early 1980s. She has received awards for her reporting from the American Cancer Society, the Association of American Medical Colleges, the Council for Advancement and Support of Education and the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill. She first traveled to Africa in 2004 when she became gripped by the human devastation of AIDS and felt compelled to help through her writings, presentations and fundraising. She is the director of media relations at Stanford University School of Medicine where she covers HIV/AIDS issues and she lives in Palo Alto with her husband Jay and daughter Shaina
