Two naps later… I remembered something that I really wanted to share. As Julias was driving me home, I saw a huge sign for “lifeguards” and another huge billboard that said that “intergenerational sex stops with her” and it had a picture of an educated young black woman with books. I thought that those signs were amazing because it shows that there is public policy trying to prevent the spread of AIDs. But the most amazing part was that we were listening to a song on the radio: “…desire, one man can satisfy her…”. Basically, AIDs awareness and prevention is everywhere, but even more importantly, it specifically targets women as those who make the difference.. By the way, you should know that the WHO has declared Uganda as an AIDs and Tuberculosis crisis zone. Sorry to tell you this now, mom and dad. :).

I remember someone telling me something about how women in Uganda are the ones who listen to the news and talk to the volunteers about AIDs prevention. I guess that is why they are specifically targeted for these ads.

Also, if you haven’t notices yet, I have no internet access at the Luboga home, so I am writing entries in advance. I guess that’s just an FYI. Going to sit down to some tea with the family now. I hear kids singing outside of the walls of their courtyard, there were cows mooing too, but that is less noteworthy.
