*Radio Diaries*

		Thembi Ngubane 1984-2009 Our friend and diarist, Thembi Ngubane, died Thursday night from drug-resistant TB. She was brave and open about living with AIDS at a time when most South Africans were quiet about the epidemic. We learned so much from her and for that we are eternally grateful. You can hear our remembrance on NPR (streaming \| download mp3). And you can hear her diary, which aired in 2006 here. If you would like to make a contribution in her honor, please consider a donation to the Treatment Action Campaign in South Africa. They have been tireless advocates for treatment for all and Thembi was a member. Thembi leaves behind her four-year old daughter, Onwabo. Many of you contributed in the past to Thembi's family, helping them to purchase their own house in the township. Radio Diaries is setting up a fund for the continuing care of Onwabo. If you would like to contribute to this fund you can do so here. We thank you tremendously for being a part of this journey with us.
