A group of Myanmar nuns are focusing their pastoral efforts on often-neglected children suffering from HIV/AIDS. Three Sisters of St Joseph of the Apparition in Kalay work with a ten-member team to assist 26 orphan vulnerable children (OVC) infected with the HIV virus by their parents. At their “Shelter of Charity” center, the sisters assist with nutrition, school and tuition fees, medicine and even funeral expenses. Ten children and two adults living with HIV/AIDS also stay at the center, which was founded in 2007, on land donated by Bishop Mang Thang of Hakha Diocese, Chin state.
