This first Annual Report of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief represents just one picture of the incredible hard work, effort, and dedication of U.S. Government staff in the field, their host-government counterparts and local partners, and hundreds of other organizations that have joined with the Emergency Plan in this fight. Their service to the millions living heroically with HIV/AIDS will fulfill the Emergency Plan's ultimate vision -- to turn the tide against this global pandemic and, in doing so, turn despair into hope.
