Actor Ricky Gervais shares a few bone-chilling statistics with t5m. The comedian makes no jokes in sharing his support for both World AIDS Day and Nelson Mandela’s 46664 charity.

‘In the time it takes for me to tell you this, at least 3 sub-Saharan African children have been orphaned due to AIDS.’

That means that by the time you finish reading this, almost ten children have lost the love of a parent, home, and way of life, many before the age of 14. This rate is shockingly high. With the right medication, people living with HIV/AIDS can live a normal life, remaining able to take care of children and loved ones.

It’s in our hands.
