World AIDS Day is an annual December event to raise support and awareness for the fight against HIV/AIDS.

This year, Operation Blessing International organized a special program to help more than 500 children in India who are HIV-positive.

Nutritional packages as well as school bags were provided to the children.

In Hyderabad, the charity provided support at a local clinic. And infected residents received free care, counseling, vitamins and supplements.
