a Frontline documentary

a Frontline documentary
Watching something like Frontline documentary AIDS in Black America always reminds me that I in the minority now, when it comes to HIV and AIDS awareness.
About 5 years ago I went on a trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe. with Hoops4Hope a non-profit that focuses on AIDS/HIV awareness in Africa. When you doing work like that on this side (here in America),[url=http://billigmonclerjackenkaufen.olimx.com/][b]Billig Moncler Jacken Günstig[/b][/url], you know the stats,[url=http://billigmonclerjackenkaufen.olimx.com/][b]Moncler Jacke Damen[/b][/url], and you helping with fundraisers,[url=http://rogervivieronlinesale.olimx.com/][b]http://rogervivieronlinesale.olimx.com/[/b][/url], and people are donating sneakers but you don really understand the severity of the problems.
It not until you touch-down in the townships like Khayelitsha,[url=http://woolrichparkaschweiz.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Parka Schweiz Online Shop[/b][/url], or you working with a group of 200 kids outside of Harare that you fully grasp the kind of conversations one has to have in order to inform 7 and 8 year-olds about AIDS and HIV. It shocking to hear the teachers you working speaking plainly, and frankly about sex and condoms to kids that haven yet reached middle school age.
But then you find out why I walked about 3 hours through the streets Khayelitsha a massive shanty town,[url=http://discountnikesoccershoes.webmium.com/][b]Nike Soccer Shoes online sale[/b][/url], where houses were often made from scraps,[url=http://duveticapiumini.olimx.com/][b]duvetica jackets shop[/b][/url], and electricity was stolen from power lines to an orphanage that housed children ages 3-5 all HIV positive. We brought a sack of oranges, some bananas, and some crackers because, well what else were we supposed to do?
I mean, if you didn know where you were you think it was a your average daycare center: kids running around,[url=http://billigmonclerjackenkaufen.olimx.com/][b]Moncler Jacke Damen Outlet Deutschland[/b][/url], laughing,[url=http://duveticapiumini.olimx.com/][b]duvetica jackets[/b][/url], crying, playing. When I showed up, they clambered to hold my hand,[url=http://giuseppezanottichainsandals.olimx.com/][b]giuseppe zanotti sandals[/b][/url], or climb me like a gazebo. One of the women taking care of them told me they never seen a white person before. Some touched my face and petted me like I was an exotic pet, others ran and hid from me cackling as I them behind doors and under tables.
After we left, my friend (a local) said I should come back in a year or two and see who left and it crashed down on top of me. These kids were born with HIV. They didn have access to the kinds of drugs you need to survive. These kids were not going to survive.
For me, it impossible to shake that moment. That realization that a house full of 10 or 15 kids is most likely gone. You figure out in a hurry that the culture of silence and willful ignorance is what creates and epidemic like HIV. we see that Magic Johnson survived, and after so much publicity in the 90 we assume that everyone know the risks by now. is contracting the virus. Which is terrifying when you consider that it totally preventable.
Every now and then a picture of me with those kids flashes on my screensaver and for a moment the laughter flashes, too. Both too brief.
