Life Changing Information Gained (about HIV AIDS)

We are the coaches of City Year in South Africa. We have been working alongside the American college athletes to train the kids from DC and Soweto. We wanted to jump on the blog and share with you our thoughts on the programme so far...

In our book of life, this is one chapter that we'll always read and read it to our fellow men to bring comfort to those who are infected and affected by HIV. We always thought that we know everything about HIV AIDS,until we were prooven otherwise by the kids in the graasroot programme. we learned alot more about the high risks,low risks and ways of avoiding all kinds of risks with regards to the HI Virus. We now have the courage and are fully confident to spread and share the kwowledge gained during these past few days about HIV AIDS.

From all walks of life i saw footsteps merging, i gazed at them as they rose to break the silent that crippled my youth and then i heared hope resounding that your friend who is living with HIV AIDS is still your friend...that we need to at all time to love and suport our fellow brothers and sisters who are infected and affected by HIV AIDS. It is really great that there's people my age becoming the change they want to see inthe world that is to live inthe world that will not judge but offer support to the kids who affected by the HI Virus and teach them more about ways of avoiding to get the Virus. :-)

I'm realy blown away I can't believe all the kids from TEAM UP have so much knowlage about the HIVirus they can tell you from how it's transimeted, to how it can be prevented they are just amazing it is quiet an honour and a prevelage to be part of the programe to be here to experience and witness all these fantestic kids from diversed backrounds and opinions but who strive to pass on the same masage in different voices.I got a chance to meet realy cool people im talking the likes of Solo the american female soccer player. my greatest highlights is that the guys expected to find wild animals walking around the streets like some kind of a SAFARI,which was quite a disapointment to them that they found an urban city thats almost like DC.
