Take two I love it when a plan hints at coming together

I wrote this post about 2 weeks ago but there was a virus on it so i deleted it and posted it again. Hope this clever idea get around the virus horse thing. :o)

For me that is enough. Just a hint is enough to give me hope! I have been spending the week with the people in Swaziland responsible for training people in the country on HIV and nutrition issues. We have basically got the content of the training together and are working on the actual sessions and how the materials will be delivered. I'm feeling much more positive! We have a plan, and a budget and the umbrellas are being ordered!! The recruitment process is also in full swing. More interviews next week.

I'm also planning some kind of a shindig for the launch of the project, where we can involve the community and make them laugh. We have to plan a media circus where the press will be invited and people will make speeches and cut ribbons etc. My job is the drama and the information giving. So many silly ideas. The team have started to exchange worried looks when I start saying, 'What about if we.......' What about if someone pretends to be HIV and gets tied up by people pretending to be fruit and vegetables? The message is that we can control the virus with adherence to medication and good nutrition, but not kill it. Maybe in this case the person pretending to be HIV could continue to shout and complain when tied up.... Hm. I got to find me some actors.
