Adolescence is not a religion

When I was in Form Four I belonged to a class with lofty aspirations to be entertainers and comedians. We were a bright but rowdy bunch.

This clinic, that thrives in its anonymity, serves almost 6000 HIV positive adults and children of Zimbabwe. I am currently doing a training there. The last HIV training I did was in Kenya 3 years ago and I remember clearly leaving there with quite a gloomy outlook on life. Remember this The Real Picture ? I am coming to the end of this training but I am feeling blessed to know this establishment, happy that there is hope in this stormy sea
