We Care   

"Lets take care of everyone; everyone with AIDS. Here I am together with my family, here I am with all my friends, and here is my body that I take care of". These are the opening song words of 'We Care', an Aids education programme for Foundation learners.

This fun and informative series is aimed at telling 6 to 9 year olds about the HIV/AIDS epidemic and how to develop an attitude of caring for people who live with the disease, so that they are not isolated, ridiculed or treated differently. "We want the Children should understand the epidemic, taking in the right information and sharing it with friends". They need to be equipped to deal with it if a member of their family or someone else close to them is affected, and to know their rights. If we are to rid our world of this epidemic, we need to include the youngest members of our communities.

We Care covers difficult issues: from 'living positively with HIV/AIDS' to 'our friends with HIV/AIDS are still our friends'.
