South Africa is not always thought of as the honeymoon getaway. It is commonly known to many as the country in turmoil. One of the largest issues in their country is HIV and AIDS. More and more grandparents become the sole providers of the house hold due to their children dying from AIDS. Due to the illness and the affect on the country, it is everyday leaving children and young adults more susceptible to violence then ordinary people of that age.
Luckily the are some programs to help the youth in South Africa. It is known their as role playing. It lets people know that they are not alone. It is just like a skit, except you have the support of other students. I think these are some great programs they have.
This film was showcased by Duke University, but was created by the students in South Africa. The South Africa students wanted to express that they are the future and that is something that can not be changed. No matter what they go through in life they WILL be the next generation. This video can be found on itunes university under Duke's center for documentation studies.
