just said, I will tell you more when I get 。About ten years ago, I traveled with a group of friends to last day I was there, I had a meeting with a group of prostitutes, and I expected to talk to them about the risk of AIDS that they were facing, but what they wanted to talk to me about was 。They wanted to be able to feed their 。It was if physical contact somehow proved their ,她們才能體會到自己的存在價值。于是我決定過去看看。她很消瘦離死亡已不遙遠,她的肚子里已經(jīng)無法容納任何東西,義工們不得不將床板切一個洞,并將盆子放到床下,她體內(nèi)的一切就這樣傾瀉到盆子里。而懲罰便是被拋棄。但我不認看到她那么孤獨。And finally I just said to her, it’s going to be 沒事的。她肯定是想到屋頂看日落?!?And so finally, I just scooped this woman up in my 。I felt pletely and totally inadequate in the face of this woman’s 。Their brave efforts have helped to keep HIV prevalence low among sex workers and a lot

they were able to leave sex ,通過這些存款 不少人得以脫離性工作。The munity they formed became a platform for 。I knew that those sex worker I had met in the morning could be the woman that I carried upstairs later that evening, unless we found a way to defy the stigma that hung over their ,以后很有可能就會變成那天晚上我扶上樓的那位女性,除非我們能夠找到辦法,為她們洗脫身上無法擺脫的污名。The workers knew—I made sure they knew that she was up there so that they

go see the worst, and I’ve had days like that ,你必須看到最糟的真相。比爾跟我說,梅琳達我去了一個從沒去過的地方。That’s the attitude that says we can’t defeat poverty and absolutely ,我們無法打敗貧窮和疾病。I got into the car as I left and I
