We report the interesting experience of the African Village of Hope (Dodoma, Tanzania) where HIV‐positive orphan children have been hosted, cured, and educated in the last 15 years. The particular attention to beauty in the education of the children amazed us when we were in the village working as doctors. The project and the effort to create such a model of social and medical assistance were born from the idea of the founders, Sister Maria Rosaria Gargiulo and Don Vincenzo Boselli. In light of this experience and of the healthy result obtained in the village, we believe that education in the perception of beauty is a formative aspect for all children, but may also be a powerful adjuvant therapy in severely immunocompromised young patients.

在一个非洲村庄中，对感染了艾滋病毒的儿童进行美育的积极成果

我们报告了非洲希望村（坦桑尼亚多多马）的有趣经历，在过去的15年中，艾滋病毒呈阳性的孤儿被收容，治愈和接受教育。当我们在乡村当医生时，对儿童教育中对美的特别关注使我们感到惊讶。该项目以及创建这样一种社会和医疗救助模式的努力都是从创始人玛丽亚·罗莎莉亚·加吉欧罗姐妹和唐·文森佐·博塞利姐妹的想法诞生的。根据这种经验以及在该村获得的健康结果，我们认为对美感的教育是所有儿童的重要组成部分，但对于严重免疫功能低下的年轻患者，这也可能是一种强有力的辅助疗法。
