MUSIKILI SCHOOL'S CRAFT FAIR AND
SWIMATHON on November12 was a great success from a fund raiser and
community get together point of view. Thanks to the tireless efforts
of the organisers, Fiona Marx, Theresa Taylor and Mandy Wheeler and
her team of Swimathon co-ordinators. The sponsored swim which took
place throughout the day of the Fair, in perfect, stinking hot
weather conditions went extremely well and Mandy would like to thank
swimmers and sponsors alike.
KEEPING THE PROMISE TO STOP AIDS the
theme for World Aids Day this year is “Stop HIV AIDS Keep The
Promise”. November 25 is the day that Mazabuka and more especially
Nakambala Sugar Estates will get together to strengthen their
resolve to continue the fight against the pandemic and also to think
about those that have already died from the disease. One would hope
that people think seriously and carefully about keeping promises to
stop the HIV infection, particularly parents. It is hard to fathom
why people continue to have unprotected sex and sex with more than
one person when they have children to support. Zambia has one of the
highest orphan populations in the world, so up to now many people
have reneged on their determination to “keep the promise.” |
