Walk Through the Tears - Possible Dreams International



Dr. Maithri Goonetilleke of Australia published this video on Dec 1, World AIDS Day.

A connection to his blog, The Soaring Impulse, is here: http://www.soaringimpulse.com/

Through his blog and on Facebook I follow Dr. Maithri Goonetilleke and the amazing work performed by him and his team in Swaziland. I am a bit late posting this as World AIDS Day was a couple of days ago, but better late than never.

I find it incredible that Maithri at the young age of 25 took to this land and these people. The last link on this page is of an interview with him explaining how he was affected when in 2005 as a medical student from Australia he worked in a small hospital in Swaziland. It was then that he became anchored to these poor, helpless but beautiful people.

The interview

Amazing stuff!

When so many people turn a blind eye to the bare subsistence of so much of the world's population, it is warming to hear of those who care.
