children on grahamstown's adaptive straregies
It was quite amusing to learn form my neighbours, I decided to reach children as people
hardly ever want to hear what they think of ‘important issues’ in the world but
mainly because when children get excited about a topic then they are not shy to
talk to anyone about it, this will quickly allow the information sharing chain
to grow. I approached a few kids around my neighbourhood and here is what they
had to say about the city’s adaptive capacity to AIDS and poverty:
They all agreed that even though HIV/AIDS was supposed to be a huge concern in the city,
enough was not being done on educating them in their schools about HIV/AIDS. They
had noticed that lessons in their schools were declining but they were truly
interested in the topic. They felt grateful though because the university
students regularly visited their schools to educate them on matters of HIV/
AIDS. As of poverty, they did not know of any efforts towards eradicating or effectively
improving poverty matters.

What a great way of measuring the effectiveness of a program - ask the neighbourhood children! As well all know, children are a great conduit of information for a place since they are the ones who run around, ask too many questions and aren't shy to share what they learn!
I think this simple idea has a lot of potential. +20 for Spark!

To quote Yoda: Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.
I agree with Mita. Furthermore, children can see things from a very simple and basic perspective we cannot as adults.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
