Workshop<br />
by Susan Lem<br />
In our community and<br />
schools we don't have<br />
enough education about aids<br />
and relating to people with<br />
aids. For example, false<br />
information is spreading<br />
throughout our community<br />
and our schools, such as aids<br />
· being as contagious as warts<br />
and that simply is not true. I<br />
became aware of the lack of<br />
education in our community<br />
and our schools when I<br />
heard the ludicrous rumours<br />
about aids.<br />
Kim, Kate and Allan (the<br />
people from the Arcade)<br />
invited two people from the<br />
P.W.A., People with Aids,<br />
Jim and David.<br />
Jim talked about how he<br />
kept it a secret about having<br />
aids for about 3 112 years<br />
because he didn't know anyone<br />
with aids and he was<br />
very confused, but then he<br />
built up his confidence when<br />
he went to a drop in center<br />
for aids and they helped him<br />
a lot.<br />
So if you are a person with<br />
aids or you arc confused you<br />
can go to the drop in center<br />
for aids. Jim is a volunteer<br />
worker at the P.W.A. Jim's<br />
family was very supportive .<br />
and still is. David had somewhat<br />
of the same situation<br />
but his family wasn't very<br />
supportive. Jim and David<br />
talked about information<br />
. that helped me understand<br />
more abouf aids. Our community<br />
and our schools need<br />
more education about topics<br />
such as aids. People like Jim<br />
and David can go to any<br />
school to talk about aids if<br />
they are invited so if you arc<br />
interested you could contact<br />

TALKIN'<br />
ABOUT A.I.D.S.<br />
Review by Emmy Pantin - 13 yrs<br />
Talkin' about A.I.D.S.<br />
starts out with a funny rap<br />
song during the opening<br />
credits. It's a great song.<br />
Very hip, very 90's. The<br />
video consists of skits and<br />
cartoons, and (of course)<br />
people talking about<br />
A.J.D.S.<br />
The video was very hip,<br />
very today, even funny in<br />
some parts. But it lacked<br />
something. I think they<br />
should have emphasized<br />
some of the funnier stuff like<br />
the cartoon, "the A.I.D.S.<br />
nerd". They should have<br />
looked at different aspects of<br />
A.I.D.S. I think they tried to<br />
do that, but they ended up<br />
with different people saying<br />
the same thing. Don't get me<br />
wrong, I'm not trying to say<br />
the whole thing should have<br />
been a bundle of laughs.<br />
There were some excellent<br />
serious parts. They had a few<br />
people talk about what living<br />
with A.I.D.S. is like. That<br />
was interesting too.<br />
The video was great and I<br />
recommend it, but don't see<br />
it if you are looking to suddenly<br />
understand A.I.D.S.<br />
