...What inspired you to go to Panama and write Ana's Story? -Laurie Powell, Wilkes-Barre, PA.I decided to go to Latin America because many of my students in Washington emigrated from this region and inspired me to learn more about their home countries. I met tons of kids through my UNICEF project. But there was something about Ana's willingness to tell her story. She really wanted to - not for any selfish reasons, but so that other kids who felt alone or who were facing abuse in their homes could be empowered...
...help fight HIV/AIDS? -Kairy Walker, MiamiBecome educated. There are so many myths and misconceptions about HIV/AIDS. The idea that you can get aids from holding hands or sharing food still runs rampant all over the world. In fact, we had to go to great lengths to protect Ana - and that isn't her real name - because of the discrimination against kids with HIV/AIDS...

Now, opines "serbiangirl" in a blog, Ana, Novak and Jelena can show "that the Serbian people are not just terorists [sic] and criminals, we are nice, talented and good people!!!" Just don't call them Croats. With reporting by Dejan Anastasijevic/Belgrade
