Leadership activity

Location: Devinagar,Hubli.
Activity done:Awarness about HIV/AIDS
The response from Devinagar people was good when we told them about our activity.We called only women for this activitiy as this can not be done with mixed group(male & female). Around 23 female gathered for the telefilm show.The voice from the mass started slowing down when the film started.We decided that during the film we are not going to iinterept them.We started the film by around 6:45pm & it ended by 7:15pm.All of them were seeing the movie interestingly.
When the film got over I asked the question to them that-What was the main theem of the movie? For my surprise non of them were opening their mouth,when I repeated the question then two young girls told that its about AIDS.Later I understood that they were not feeling good to uttter the word AIDS.This was because AIDS spreads by sexual affairs!!!This bias led to the question answer session.I asked the following questions to the audience.
  • What are the ways by which a person can get infected by HIV?
  • By what it won't spread?
  • How can the child be saved if it is in the womb of an infected mother?
  • What to do when you feel that you are at RISK?
  • What are high risk,low risk & no risk?
  • What is the future of the positive person?

Thia led to some questions from the audience like;

  • Is it spreads from mosquito?
  • Can we take our own syringe to the hospital?
  • Any remedy toprevent it?
  • Can it occur to anybody who is not involved in illegal sexual affiar? so on......

We felt very happl to get such a good response from people.I wish to give such activity in many places to make the positive person live normaly.
