Sport for Social Change
More 60 kids showed up at YOC outreach clinic from impoverished community of Mkhambathini. These kids learn new basketball sets of skills and more importantly learn about life skills to make better choices in their lives. Majority of the kids played with bear foot because they can't afford shoes. It was a day full of fun, education and sharing of knowledge to help them make smart choices. YOC Champions for Change were overwhelmed by much these kids were willing to learn and thanks to our volunteers who made it all happen.
We are coming to your area next...Sent via my BlackBerry from Vodacom - let your email find you!

Reach & Teach HIV testing campaign launches today at Varsity College
Reach & Teach HIV testing campaign launches today at Varsity College in Pietermaritzburg. The campaign uses the emotional power of dance and music to engage, educate and inspire the youth to get tested for HIV/AIDS.
This testing campaign, aims to encourage young people particularly students in schools and tertiary to get tested for HIV and know their status.
This campaign will soon be rolled out to other schools, universities and community halls. Varsity College in partnership with Youth of Choice and other organizations took an initiative to educate their students on sexual health and the importance of knowing ones HIV status. Those who got tested today received free tee shirts and caps from Youth of Choice as incentives. Youth of Choice in association with the local hip hop dance crew (Pradators) have found a new innovative way to activate and energise the students to get tested.
"Ultimately the campaign aims to change behavioral patterns and mobilse young people to take action against HIV/AIDS through alternative artistic methods. Youth of Choice fully endorses the South African government's new HIV Counselling and Testing (HCT) Campaign that aims to test a total of 15 million people throughout South Africa by June 2011", said Jabulani Myeza, the founder and chairman of Youth of Choice.
