SPEAKER AND SUBJECT – Dr. Shobha Vanchiswar – Children with HIV/Aids in India

SUMMARY OF TALK –

Our speaker came here in 1983 from India and lives with her husband and her ten year old daughter in Chappaqua. She heard about the 2007 Clinton Foundation and wanted to help. Their job is to give medication to save lives. Some children are in Catholic orphanages and some are outside of Mumbai. A major problem is the people who drive around the country and spread Aids. Women and girls, young and old, must be educated to know how to protect themselves. After many other passions in her life, writing books, designing gardens, she enjoys serving her community above all.
