WHAT IS......

WHAT IS A BIRTHDAY?

a birthday is like a bright bouquet, as lovely as can be, with every bloom a moment shared, a precious memory, a loving word, a gentle touch, a smile that warms your day, a wish come true for all the joy, that life can bring your way.

WHAT IS A FRIEND?

a faithful friend is a strong defence, and he that found him, hath found a treasure, nothing can be compared to a faithful friend, and no weight of gold and silver is able to countervail, the goodness of his fidelity.

WHAT IS LOVE?

love is like magic and it will always be, for love still remains life's sweet mystery, love works in ways that are wonderous and strange, and there's nothing in life that love cannot change, love is unselfish, understanding and kind, fot it sees with its heart and not its mind

GRIEF A POEM BY ME

Bombs dropping down like rain from the sky.
Standing all alone in a terrible world.

Her eyes filled with tears of
Sorrow.
Sadness
engulfed her heart.
So big but yet so small all
because she had no where to go.
Nothing to do.

Her perfect life, perfect world
gone
in seconds.Her joy turned to immense pain.

AIDS the real cost of this disease

So we are all wearing our red straps around our wrists and sporting AIDS ribbons and are feeling jolly good about donating a can of bake beans to the office collection box. Now we can sit in our ivory towers and not think about HIV/AIDS for another year.atleast those of us who are not HIV positive or looking after the children of relatives who have died of the disease or those who are taking care of those dying of the illness.
AIDS is spreading and as results of this millions of South Africans are dying and the number of orphans is increasing rapidly therefore there is a vital need for more people to look after these children.
There are two stories to the economic debate around HIV/AIDS the first is the initial shock of the cost impact of HIV/AIDS and the other is the fact that certain people refuse to face reality and continue to hope that the problems will go away. Many people cannot face reality and they are terrified therefore instead of facing it the sweep the problem under the carpet praying it will vanish but it won’t it is a reality that AIDS is ravaging our country. South Africa has the largest number of people infected with the HIV virus that causes AIDS. This disease affects a whopping six million of our population and that number is still increasing.
Many of these 6 million cases will develop into full-blown AIDS and many of these people are parents who will leave children behind to either take care of themselves or each other.
Rural areas are facing huge problems when it comes to the disease because they still do not know how to care for those with the illness.

The disease who does it affect?
It affects every one of us someway or the other because the social impact of the disease affects all South Africans.
The victims of this disease suffer in silence due too mixture of ignorance, denial and fear.
One would have thought that South Africa would have had the whole antiretroviral treatment in order but only 80 000 HIV patients are receiving treatment even though we are one of the worst countries affected by this pandemic.
People today, attach a stigma to AIDS and mostly put it down to sexual promiscuity. Many people do not disclose they are HIV positive because they don’t want to be victimised.
People have a perception that people with AIDS have something wrong with them and if you touch them u will contract the disease but we need to change that mindset and teach people that AIDS can only be transmitted through blood and sexual contact.
To solve AIDS in South Africa the people need to take a stand and fight this disease, and even if there is no cure the apt prevention is better than cure is correct in this case because if we are informed about the pandemic precautions will be taken and the talk of AIDS will not be regarded as a taboo issue.
