 As the children's show Sesame Street celebrates its 40th anniversary this month, one cute and cuddly Muppet on its South African edition helps combat and raise awareness about HIV/AIDS.
Bright yellow and shy, Kami, the first HIV-positive Muppet, helps educate kids in South Africa about the disease and, having lost her own mother to AIDS, helps many children to cope with the health crisis.
South Africa is believed to have the highest number of people infected with HIV in the world — an estimated 5.7 million people. Approximately 280,000 of those infected are children 14 and younger and there are 1.4 million orphans in the country due to AIDS.

 With over 15 percent of the population unemployed, the 2,000 residents in
Wilmington, Ohio have faced tough economic times, many relying heavily
on a local soup kitchen daily for their only hot meal.
When celebrity chef, Rachel Ray, heard that the soup kitchen was about to close its doors, she decided to help out in a big way.
She and her crew provided a Thanksgiving dinner along with an
inspirational entertainment tribute for the whole town, serving 900
pounds of turkey, 700 pounds each of mashed potatoes and sweet
potatoes, and 400 pounds of green beans. The Sunday dinner also
included stuffing, brussels sprouts, gravy and pumpkin pie.
Not only did Rachel's crew decorate the hall with hay wagon, harvest
vegetables and candle centerpieces in the colors of the season, they
bought new appliances for the kitchen, redesigning the entire work
space with a productivity make-over.
