Positively Sesame Street
POSTED ON 11 May 2012, 1:09 PM
Source: Time Magazine
"Enjoy Life!" says Kami, the first official muppet who is HIV positive. She was introduced in the South African version of Sesame Street, Takalani Sesame.

"Kami - from a Tswana tribal word for "acceptance" — will challenge the stereotype of the HIV-infected sickly child and focus instead on fun and friendliness. She will also introduce basic information and promote discussion about such uncuddly issues as death and social ostracism."

HOUSE OF NUMBERS a gripping film by Brent Leung
POSTED ON 13 January 2012, 11:28 AM
The HIV/AIDS story is being rewritten, and this is the first film to present the uncensored POVs of virtually all the major players -- in their own settings, in their own words. It rocks the foundation upon which all conventional wisdom regarding HIV/AIDS is based. If, as South African health advocate Pephsile Maseko remarks, "this is the beginning of a war...a war to reclaim our health," then House of Numbers could well be the opening salvo in the battle to bring sanity and clarity to an epidemic clearly gone away.

Every girl has an ideal man, a fantasy love story and a dream wedding.

Just like Reese - a simple girl from Cebu who found herself nearly having all three... And then came HIV.
