Boys and Girls Club Phoenix Arizona

We phoned the local police station to find out where would be a good place to perform for youth-at-risk, and they recommended the local 'Boys and Girls club'.  This club is a 'safe-place' for youth-at-risk to hang out after school. Just during the short time that we were there, we saw too different teenagers being hand cuffed by the police and taken away in police cars. We were able to do a 40 minute program for the teens and at the end of the 'Everything' music drama, which highlights many of the problems that teenagers face today, a few of the girls in the audience were in tears and were saying things like ' we really get it'. We also talked with them about HIV/AIDS and showed them a short video about our work in Africa. A number of them gave us their email addresses so that we can keep in contact with them.

We are now on our way to LA where we will be doing a HIV/AIDS presentation and a program for a large audience of teens at risk.
