Children with AIDS Charity : ウィキペディア英語版 | Children with AIDS Charity Children With AIDS Charity is a national UK charity to help children infected or affected by HIV/AIDS maintain a good quality of life. CWAS was set up in 1992 with the aim of "working towards a future without poverty or prejudice for these children and their families". This Charity was removed from the register of UK Charities held by the Charity Commission. See link below. ==Founding== Children With AIDS Charity was founded in October 1993 by Rebecca Handel, Jo Dodge, and the paediatric team of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington.〔http://www.cwac.org/about_us.htm〕 Together they decided that a charity should be formed that could respond to the specific practical, emotional and educational requirements of children and their families infected and affected by HIV. Rebecca contracted HIV through a blood transfusion in her second pregnancy, before blood was screened for the virus in 1981.〔Coward, Rosalind; Mandela, Nelson; McCorquodale, Sarah (2007). ''Diana: The Portrait: Anniversary Edition'', p.137. Andrews McMeel Publishing, LLC. ISBN 0-7407-6792-5.〕 Since she was white, middle-class and Jewish, Rebecca did not meet any of the HIV-positive stereotypes at the time. Bonnie Handel, Rebecca’s daughter from that pregnancy, died in St Mary’s Hospital the following December; Rebecca Handel died on 1 January 1995.〔
