In Lesotho, Africa Teenage mothers stricken with HIV/Aids participate in a writing exercise during a life skills class led by Peace Corps Volunteer Brice Foster. The women live in a group home operated by the NGO Less AIDS Lesotho. Brice taught the women to write journals. The woman on the far left is a helper who is holding one of the babies. I was told that baby is the only one at the residence that is not HIV positive. At the other end of the table is Less AIDS coordinator Malijo Baji. The AIDS epidemic in Lesotho has had a devastating impact on the country. Photo by Richard Sitler
