Lets end "Competitions" and start doing some real work (6)
----------------------------------------------------------

Peter,

I agree with your comments wholeheartedly. A lot of North-South ideas 
have been a disaster in that some of them you cannot see a trace of 
what was done at the end of it all. Flying a few Africans to Europe 
for funfare is not tackling the issue of HIV/AIDS.

The problem with HIV/AIDS today is not much in information or igno-
rance. I have worked in remote areas of my home country and people 
are aware of HIV/AIDS, they even have differential diagnosis for it. 
The issue is to address the problem of access to health care, avail-
ability of drugs, creating jobs so that you do have idled minds, etc. 
and not competition. People are taking to the streets for prostitu-
tion because they have no food as they may have no seeds to plant. So 
let's address issues of Africa in a positive way.

Thank You,

Peter Songolo
