True love waits, works in Africa

What follows is an article from August 29, 2006. It was "back page" stuff even though it clearly has had a tremendous result in Uganda.

When True Love Waits held its first national event in 1994 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., a second, smaller, but perhaps even more powerful, True Love Waits observance was taking place half a world away in Africa, a continent that is being decimated by AIDS.

Twelve years later, government leaders in Uganda have credited True Love Waits for a remarkable decrease in the HIV/AIDS infection rate from 30 percent of the population to about 6 percent.
