"AIDS in the Caribbean: A growing epidemic in the backyard of the United States"


7 of 10

At the Cyril Ross Nursery, a home for AIDS orphans in Trinidad, "mommy" Donna Toppin spends some loving time with 5 year-old Kevon Williams. The home, the only one of its kind in Trinidad, takes care of children who are HIV positive and have lost their parents to the disease. The children are encouraged to call the women that work at the home "mommy" so that they will have positive, loving parental figures in their lives.
