Grammy Award-winner Alicia Keys visited a children’s health project she helps to fund in Mombasa, Kenya on Wednesday. The R&B celebrity Alicia Keys visit the clinic at Coast Provincial Hospital, which benefits from the charity Keep A Child Alive, a U.S. Charity organization, which provides life-saving antiretroviral treatment to children and their families with HIV/AIDS. Thanks to Keep a Child Alive since 2004 where around 4,000 children get free treatment.
The journey doesn’t stop here as Alicia Keys arrived in Uganda on Sunday, starting a four-day tour to support the fight against AIDS Africa. In Uganda, the organization funds Masaka Healthcare Center and Kairos Medical Center in Namuwongo, which provide adult and child AIDS treatment services to families living with HIV.
According to a statement from the Aids Healthcare Foundation in Kampala, Keys who is the ambassador of the Keep a Child Alive, will also visit the Aids Healthcare Foundation (AHF) centre in Masaka district today.

The actress Halle Berry thinks that Alicia Keys is perfect for her upcoming movie production, Composition Of Black&White.
If my baby says she’s good, I’m going to have to believe her. After all Halle doesn’t just like things that tastes good, but she also has good taste.
Dear Alicia,
I’m very happy with the work you’re doing. I would like to be volounteer with the little that I have. Please reply my message.
Sincerly Emma!

Racial Comments Motivates African-American Condom Company
“Black males don’t need condoms. They need to be neutered. They better make’em in menthol, Original Recipe, or Extra Crispy or they’ll never sell’em. The black race has a whopping 1 to 30 ratio when it comes to the aids virus. Maybe AIDS is the great white hope ha?”- Stormfront.org
These are comments that were made on the racist website and radio Stormfront.org. The comments stemmed from a press release and story reported on WREG news about Head Strong Condoms.
Comically joking about a serious issue that is killing mankind; not just African Americans in the world today. These comments reflect the way that some feel about the welfare of African Americans that are infected by the HIV and AIDS virus.
“After reading the comments posted on Stormfront’s website, it was motivation for my company to put more effort in finding ways to eliminate the disease in all communities,” states Kirk Manuel, CEO and Founder of Headstrong Condoms.”Headstrong was created to help educate and give more awareness about the deadly disease that is killing us and the comments only motivated me to pursue a more reliable product to fight the prevention of the HIV and AIDS virus. This should be a wake up call and motivation for all of us as humans to come together and tackle this problem head on. Not all people having the courage such as Magic Johnson, Eric “Easy-E” Wright, or Arthur Ashe are willing to inform the world that they are infected with the HIV and AIDS virus.There is power in words. Now there are reasons why we are calling not only African Americans but people of all races to help join us with the fight against the HIV and AIDS virus. We encourage the Hip-Hop community, who can reach millions with their lyrics, to inform their audience about protecting themselves when using sexual lyrics in song.” Do not forget that one of Hip-Hop’s greatest superstars, ATL rapper TI , is incarcerated now in Forrest City, Arkansas serving a one year sentence. Forrest City is named after one of the greatest KKK members, Nathan Bedford Forrest. As you can see, it is very amusing for people of hate to see a race dying of not only HIV or AIDS virus but of violent crimes. The only way to help these people are to keep these numbers down and have respect for all of mankind.
Headstrong Condoms are currently working to expand both availability and awareness of their product. Many donations have been given such as 30,000 condoms to Ghana, 5,000 condoms to BET Rap It Up, 5,000 condoms to Howard University Freshman Class of 2009 and 5,000 condoms to Acadia Health Care in Lafayette, Louisiana. Among other distributors and foundations, Manuel is expected to pursue Wal-Mart and William J. Clinton Foundation. Two decades ago, President Clinton was cited to have said that the poverty in his home state of Arkansas was overwhelming after the nationally spotlighted story of the Chambers taken place. Manuel was born and raised in Eastern Arkansas and has made it the home base of Headstrong Condoms and hopes that the William J. Clinton Foundation will help support the fight against this deadly disease.” Manuel also stated that he is not by far a wealthy man but with no hesitation he would give the shirt off of his back if he needed to. Headstrong Condoms’ biggest concern is the fact that there are very little education about predators who are knowingly infecting children and others as well as adults with the HIV and AIDS virus.
“It’s time to educate, so let’s be the ones to do something about it!”- Kirk Manuel
