Duke Blue Devils

I watched the documentary on the epidemic which is HIV/AIDS diseases going on in South Africa. It was definitely eye opening because I hear about the problems going on with the raping and the crime and the ongoing disease spreading. It is very sad. Illness and death break up the families and it makes young children more prone to violence and sexual assault.

There are some positives to this. Programs for South Africa's youth help out tremendously. Role playing was an activity the kids participated in where they acted out in the conformities of a skit with the suppport of the leaders and the other kids. It lets the other kids know that they arent the only ones going through these situations. These kids are the future of South Africa, no matter what they go through. The documentary was a well rounded video which was bittersweet considering the story.
