Me,Myself and Activitism

In 1998 my parents enrolled me in and after school project named TEKPREP(Technical Preparation) which focused in developing young people on different skills,introducing them to variety of work fields. One of the fields was community work where we offered different services to a number of institutes from shelters to oprhanages and this became my introduction to social work. It was later that I got to understand the term activist and what it meant. I had received a call from my mother tell me to go to Hospice in Mofolo,Soweto to visit my cousin who was ill and bed ridden there.On my arrival I could bear the sight of my own cousin she had deteriorated this straight in the face introduction of the impact of HIV/AIDS. After my visit with she had left me with the following question how do we educate the people about this, abd what is the role of men in changing or educating on this issue. I then embarked on finding my answers and was brought to the realisation that i was part of the answer. The change that i wanted to see, the education that i wanted to happen lay with me. Now is me,myself and activism.
