    He Needs Help
  
 

       There is a handsome boy in the picture. He has golden hair and a pair of big blue eyes. But he looks very sad. He is thin and weak because he suffers from AIDS. In our human bodies, the immune system protects us from disease. But when one gets the AIDS virus in his / her body, it attacks and destroys the immune system, and the body then is helpless against disease. And the patient will die of this or that disease.


       But you don't have to worry too much about being with the boy. The AIDS virus can't live outside his body, and it can't travel through the air. You don't need to be afraid to touch him, either. Children with AIDS need help from other children. They need to have friends to play with. Let's try our best to do something for them.
