Kerry Pelzman

#WorldAIDSDay Nine years ago, I was diagnosed with HIV. I didn't disclose my status to my family for 6 years, because I was afraid. The journey had been lonely and scary. I hid behind my smile, yet I was depressed and slowly dying inside. But...a lot has changed since then.

On November 3, 1961 USAID was established. As we celebrate the holidays, we also celebrate six decades of progress and service from America to the world. usaid.link/5g4

Thrilled to see such a historic part of USAID’s work.

Incredible visit and work!
