The General Assembly,

Realizing all countries around the world have people with AIDS, Panama is not as high as other countries. Although, we have a lot of children each year becoming orphans due to their parents dying of AIDS. An estimated 9,000 children (under age 15) we�re left homeless in 2001 due to the death of their parents from AIDS.

I. Expresses Deep Concern

(A) The main reasons AIDS is affecting people in Panama is due to their behavior. This behavior includes multiple sexual partners, injecting drug use, etc. in which exposes individuals to AIDS.

4. Set up a council that will speak to young children, as well as adults about the risks and steps they need to take to make this a safer environment.
