” “Nairobi) Sister Ana Lucia, a Kenyan living in the slums of Korogocho, in Nairobi, is in charge instead of the spiritual and psychological care of the Aids patients, from the start of their treatment to the end. “In Africa, evil spirits are often blamed for any illness she explains so people are very scared and do not accept their diseases. They have in mind the image of a punishing God. So it is very important to make them understand this is not the case, that God loves them”. Brother Alain, of the Little Brothers of Charles de Foucauld, a French missionary in the slums of Kangemi, in Nairobi, agrees with this view: “In Africa, Aids still has social stigma attached. Sick people see themselves as sinners, and their families cast them out. Before such loneliness, it is essential to make the families understand how important communication and relations are”.” “
