Caroline Schaap an active former boardmember of the WEB.foundation went to Namibia and reported ‘Aids is a huge problem in Namibia, 20% of the people is infected and there are many aids orphans. The government brings a lot of information on radio and tv, such as ‘Know your rights, know your status’. In many clinics people can get tested on hiv, and medicines for infected people are available. But there remain taboos, and schools are not allowed to distribute condoms, however children of 9 and 10 years old like to ‘play a sex game’. Older kids misuse the younger ones by telling them having sex has nothing to do with getting infected, only kissing has. Girls become pregnant by ignorance and in the streets you see many girls having one child. They wait many years after, before deciding to marry and have more children.
The LOVE.check game was very warmly welcomed and is used in many groups.
I am looking forward going back to Namibia to help them’.
