First Place

Lost Sister
Family members grieve at a deuil, or mourning ceremony, on the outskirts of Bandjoun, Cameroon, in August 2004. Many Cameroonians deny the existence of AIDS and insist that many die as a result of the flu, pneumonia, or even sorcery. However, AIDS often leads to such deaths. This photo shows a "sorcery" victim's sister (holding a photograph of the victim) with her brothers and mother.
Second Place
Lindsey Hanson
Volunteer in Ghana, 2011–2013
Trust Games
Girls Leading Our World (GLOW) Camp participants play trust games, helping them to feel comfortable with one other in hopes of encouraging them to open up and share their experiences. In April 2012, several campers led seminars on HIV and AIDS. A nurse also spoke about HIV and AIDS prevention.
Third Place
Mari Kelley
Volunteer in Uganda, 2010–2012

A laboratory assistant from a health center in Uganda tests village women for HIV. Volunteers helped test over 100 men, women, and youth on June 21, 2011.
