HIV/AIDS Teacher Resource Book - Department of Education

Lisa, student teacherDuring the semester break I went home to my family. While I was there I found out one of the ladiesfrom our street was HIV positive. That lady had been my best auntie when I had lived in town before. Allher family had left her alone in the house and they took off to live with their relatives. They were scaredto live with her. I felt sorry for her because she’s a really nice lady.One night I was sitting down in front of the house when she walked past me and said goodnight. I didn’trecognise her at first and said “goodnight”. She recognised my voice and called my name. I walked upto her and hugged her. All my family didn’t want me to hug her but I encouraged them to do so.On my holiday I just talked to the girls my age especially my friends and sisters about this incurabledisease AIDS and encouraged them to treat that auntie of ours equally to make her happy.Self study: Who can help your school and your students?
