This vision that inspired the creation of APA has been born out of family homes across southern and northern Ethiopia - where so many beautiful people are no more.

It rises to shine out from the laughter and again the tear filled eyes of beautiful children left to journey forward without the loving presence of their parents.

From the life giving determination of elderly parents who have lost their beloved sons and daughters and who now in the evening tide of their lives are entrusted with caring for their grandchildren of tender age.

From the dedicated service and care of health personnel, careers, counselors, Muslim and Christian people alike and their spiritual leaders - all have touched and inspired it. The family and the friends, a mother`s humanity, indeed of the humanity of every person and out of being personally there for 27 years with that part of humanity where people are hurting most grievously.

Finally out of the personal belief and experience that our humanity can be so noble, generous, thoughtful, so caring and so dedicated to others and rise above and beyond the ME. We can rise to embrace with full awareness and willingly share this moment of global human tragedy by confronting the crises which HIV/AIDS presents. - Fr. Owen Lambert CSSp.
