No Valley Without Shadows

©Gideon Mendel<br/><br/>Lusikisiki, 1 January 2002 <br/><br/>“By December 2002, the Khayelitsha project was showing good results. But could MSF repeat this model in a much poorer province? Many of our patients in Khayelitsha were ‘treatment migrants’ coming from remote Eastern Cape districts that had never even heard of HIV.<br/><br/>When the Eastern Cape Health Department blocked us, we partnered with the Mandela Foundation to start an HIV programme in Lusikisiki, one of the poorest districts in the country. <br/><br/>This photo of a little boy looking with bemusement at his ARVs in a remote Lusikisiki village came to symbolise that time.”
