Annie Lennox And The Fight Against AIDS/HIV


Hello there...its been quite sometime since I've taken the time to post. I've been a fan of Annie Lennox since Sweet Dreams...whilst checking out her Songs of Mass Destruction album I read about her SING A Voice For HIV/AIDS Women and Children campaign. Please take some time to visit her website to find out about her efforts in the fight against AIDS/HIV http://www.annielennoxsing.com/sing.php
