the crew in effect

In full effect getting the kids of the village we visited to talk about HIV and AIDS, and to talk to them about being tested. There were about 14 of the kids, all male, under the age of 16. At one point, in Si Swati (the language here), the kids were told that unless something changes, HALF of them would not make it to see their 30th birthday, because in this region, just over 50% (reported, 65% estimated) of the males die of HIV/AIDS before they see their 30th birthday. HALF of these kids. HALF. What we are doing here is important. these kids have NOTHING, and may be HIV positive now, or soon. This is important.
