Children from the Andile School choir sing during World AIDS day, in Cape Town, South Africa, Monday, Dec. 1, 2008. Church bells tolled, workers put down their tools and court proceedings stopped Monday as South Africa marked a minute of silence for AIDS victims and ended a decade of denial about the epidemic. South Africa has an estimated 5.5 million people living with the HIV virus, the highest total of any country. (AP Photo/Schalk van Zuydam)
