Oh our leaders, Why?

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I am sad because our leaders continually hear about our plight and never act on behalf.

Days became weeks, weeks to months, and months to years. For over 5 years we are still struggling to get our real voice hear. Can you tell me which part of life did you change for t he youth?

N.B we ask for change every where in the world, some gave in and others did not. What i learned is ..

If you ask for change, you have to do it yourself and not from others. This is because the same SUN that hardens the clay melt the butter.

Think twice!!
Take care

The Giants are Awake!!!

It could have been your Child

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

He yelled at him; get away! Fool you don’t go to school and come here to beg. He pushed him aside as he continued toward the street from the bank. Another person came out from the bank holding a book and a pen, on it was written western Union, he ignored him walked some steps and turned; he signaled him to come and gave him the pen, he jumped and thank him. Then I came out of the bank, he rushed to me and said its 11:00GMT am soo hungry just a little food can save me. I was shocked, I asked him to follow me, I bought him some food and he told me his story. You can imagine how terrible it was. This is why I am with keen interest on the youth, SRH and poverty.

STIGMATISATION

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

HIV/AIDS
A young child, standing by the side of the doorway, using the palm to wipe the tears of another child crying. A woman appeared from the dark way shouting, bad and shameless parents of yours! hey my son, don’t touch him!! He may even spread it to you, and you leave now, get out!! Get out at once!!
The crying boy took some steps off toward the footpath, and headed toward the refuse dump with tears across the cheeks. He stopped suddenly and wiped his tears, slowly he started asking himself questions, who was AIDS? Was he a policeman, why did he arrested my parents and what did my parent do? If not my grandmother, who would have given me food? Where would I stay? I will ask her again to show me where my parents are, so I can go to them and ask them why people treat me this way.

STIGMATISATION
This is one of the most dangerous tags given to PLWA who are either parents or their children. The suffering of the young child through discrimination makes him ask such terrible questions. The parents could have been in the hospital or dead or quarantined. The questions he asks really shows the rejection he faces as a result of the misconception of HIV/AIDS. The popularity of AIDS and their unknown means of transmission.

This incident eventually happened in a community I visited to discuss about how to live with PLWA. Imagine how my discussion went.

The real truth is; ask yourself even you the advocate, the health advisor, how you feel when you meet PLWA and please keep the answers in your head.

Well I need financial help to solve some of these problems in my community please visit our website http://yiaicd.synthasite.com and help us any amount you can to help solve such situation for the stigmatization is equally at strength with the popularity.

The little you do to day will never be forgotten in the minds and believe and happiness as wells as smiles of others who benefited. Thank you
