The programmes are an audio visual extravaganza covering the basics of HIV/AIDS education through a dramatic fast moving show. It covers information on how the learners can protect themselves, destroys the many myths which surround HIV/AIDS and promotes a positive response to people living with AIDS from a Christian perspective.We also take the programme on the road all around South Africa such as Soweto, Alexandra, The Cape Flats, Bloemfontein, East London etc and into surrounding African countries of Namibia and Zambia.
Beneficiaries: 33,000 students so far.
For secondary schools: A new addition to the show is an anti drug song emphasising how drugs and alcohol are important factors which hinder wise decision making. The teenage programme includes a drama called Captain Condom which hits teenage sexual relationships head on in an unforgettable way .The desperate need for this form of education is underlined by the fact that, sadly, in some of the schools where we run this programme there are pregnant girls as young as 11 years old.
For primary schools: Although much of the material covered is the same as in the secondary school programme, the direct approach to sexuality is replaced by the Stranger Danger and how to get help if close friends and relatives are behaving inappropriately towards the children. Puppets are used effectively to tackle these highly sensitive topics. Poster and essay competitions (with prizes) are used as a follow up tool to reinforce learning and to ensure the students have grasped the basics of the programmes We have received excellent feedback from students and staff through out the country.
Absolutely awesome!
