Awareness through Pictures

Posted on October 3, 2008 in Activism, Awareness | 1 comment

I thought you should see these photographs. They’re both powerful and moving. They highlight the awful disease XDR -TB, a new and deadly form of tuberculosis that is threatening to become a global pandemic.

By viewing and passing on this link we can help to spread awareness, which is the first step to halting the disease. XDRTB.ORG

(As background, the photographs were taken by leading photojournalist James Nachtwey and were ‘unveiled’ on October 3rd, 2008 in more than 50 cities on seven continents as a deliberate attempt to highlight this new danger faced by the world.)
