SICKLE CELL RECOVERY - One of the ways the Air Force helps Airmen is by

A new dawn

Only 14 hours to the innaguration of the first African-American president of the most powerful nation on earth. People all over the world have different expectations and hope in the new president. Africans in particular who have always been let down by their own leadership look forward towards the new president hoping that  his policies may make a positive change in their lives particularLy in their economic and health fields. For people with sickle cell disease in Uganda and elsewhere, their only hope is that the world may awaken and give sickle cell disease the attention that it deserves.
