International Women's Health Coalition

Hana Kajimura is a sixteen-year-old girl and will be a junior at Palo Alto High School in California. She became interested in the issue of HIV/AIDS on a trip with her mom to Ethiopia three years ago and attended the International AIDS Conference in Mexico City this summer as an accompanying child to members of the Packard Foundation.

Choosing to Matter

HIV/AIDS is more than just an epidemic and HIV-positive people are much more than victims of the disease. They have desires, hopes and dreams that transcend social and ethnic barriers.
