Interview
excerpts from people seen in this video.
Gary Engelberg of Africa Consultants International says, “Senegal’s
openness and its response to the epidemic is an example to be followed.
 At
no time has the government tried to hide what’s happening in Senegal.
It hasn’t been an easy process. But gradually everybody has been
brought into the search for responses to the epidemic. And I think that’s
really the key."

Fr.
Paul Bacarimane states, “But the solution won’t come from
heaven. It won’t be a telephone call from the Good Lord. It will
be man feeling responsibility for his acts. Living in faithfulness,
living in abstinence. I believe that is the world of the Gospel and
of hope.”
