Wildred Sumani lives in the southeastern African country of Malawi and is preparing to become a Jesuit priest. Lydia Birongo Ogware works for the Medical Mission Sisters in Kibera, an area of Nairobi, Kenya and one of the largest slums in Africa. Both are trying to change cultural attitudes that contribute to the spread of HIV and AIDS. Sumani, with help from an African Jesuit AIDS Network grant, has drawn on his skills as a musician to release two CDs of songs that encourage people to make choices about their lives when it comes to HIV. “This HIV is killing us not because we love too much,” Sumani says, "but because we don’t love enough.”
