I encourage my country Morocco. I am proud of the efforts they exert to fight this serious disease, AIDS. It is widely spread. I see people who have this disease. I hope that all sick people who have this disease will recover, especially children who still have a prosperous future ahead, God willing. Thank you for your support. Bye.

Fight AIDS. To those who suffer from it I say be patient, it is God Who grants life and takes it.

First of all, I wish you success and good health, my respectable professor. I ask your help in getting some brochures if you have them. Thank you very much. Ali Boukhari from the city of Chefchaouen in the north of Morocco. Salam.
