More than 2 million children around the world live with the AIDS virus and fewer than 5 percent are being treated.
Now, hundreds of youths in India, Burkina Faso, Tanzania, Romania and Mexico are picking up cameras to record images of lives disrupted by HIV and AIDS.
'My responsibility is to help these children - especially if their parents left them by the side of the road,' said Meroz Pillarisetty, 13, whose photographs are part of a New York exhibit, 'Picturing Hope: Through Their Eyes.'
'They come to my house, we play computer games, eat lunch together.'"
