Tackling HIV/AIDS through art

Art being an expression of inner feelings has been used for centuries to mend broken souls, celebrate a people's heritage and express both anger and happiness at various occurrences. It is thus befitting that in an era when HIV/AIDS has been identified as one of the biggest challenges facing mankind artists and art trainers have found it as a means to combat or perhaps ease the pain caused by the killer disease. Canada-based Art For AIDS, a charitable organisation has been using this ancient trade to fight AIDS throughout the world.
