"November 12-18, 2007, National Day of Care Executive Director, Dr. Michael Hattabaugh, will live on the roof of the Albuquerque Chick-Fil-A at 380l Ellison Drive near Cottonwood Mall. The purpose of this is to raise funds and awareness there are millions of children who need a “roof over their heads.”
The goal of “Get Mike Down” is $200,000. Half of the proceeds will go to Carrie Tingley Hospital in Albuquerque to provide housing for children and their families during long-term treatment. The remainder of the proceeds will help the National Day of Care promote and provide assistance to the over 15 million children in Africa who are orphans due to AIDS.
You can make a contribution in one of three ways:

Below is a video (courtesy of another organization helping AIDS orphans) of one UK couple's trip to visit a Day Aid Care center in Kisumu, located in Kenya, where a feeding program for orphans is run. The woman running the program talks about the stigma facing those with AIDS and orphans - while one of the older children speaks of the need for hope for the orphans for their future.
