<a href="http://www.epicchange.org/stories_pius">Pius</a> is a six-year-old boy whose mother, Anna, thinks he just might be president someday.

To his mother who struggles with HIV, and who lost her husband to the disease, and to a country gripped by poverty, Pius represents hope. By purchasing this candle, you are investing in his education, and the future of hundreds of children like Pius who have the potential to change the world.
Hand-poured at the exclusive <a href="http://www.timothyjaycandles.com/" target="_blank">Timothy Jay studio in West Hollywood</a>, this candle is scented with acacia - a flowering tree that grows tall, and feeds giraffe, on the Tanzanian savannah.
