Notes

Description

A childlike drawing done with crayolas shows a childish figure standing on a tuft of grass, over the word "eu" (me). There are two tufts of grass nearby over the words "pai" (father) and "mãe" (mother). The absence of any figures over those words suggests that the child has lost his or her parents to AIDS.
Poster held by Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library. History & Special Collections, Collection no. 306, item PO024.

Physical Description

Condition note

Algumas pessoas com SIDA, álem de terem o vírus, têm filhos. São milhares de crianças e adolescentes que ficam sem os pais, sem amor e sem recursos. Só não podemos permitir que eles percam a esperança.[Some people with AIDS, besides having the virus, also have children. There are thousands of children and adolescents that have no parents, no love, or resources. We can't allow them to lose hope.]
