Yovia helps spread the word - it is in our nature.  Please take 3 minutes out of your day to view this powerful series of pictures.

www.ted.com curator Chris Anderson emailed to tell us that tonight these pictures will be projected in some 50 cities all over the world.  We wanted you to see them first.

I thought you should see these photographs. They’re both powerful and moving.  They highlight the awful disease XDR -TB, a new and deadly form of tuberculosis that is threatening to become a global pandemic.

By viewing and passing on this link we can help to spread awareness, which is the first step to halting the disease. XDRTB.ORG (http://www.xdrtb.org/)

(As background, the photographs were taken by leading photojournalist James Nachtwey and were ‘unveiled’ on October 3rd, 2008 in more than 50 cities on seven continents as a deliberate attempt to highlight this new danger faced by the world.)
