introduce the subject In the same meeting the Msunduzi Aids Strategy
gets explained and a brainstorming exercise happens where community members have to identify their issues of concern around Hiv/Aids for example I.e.Orphans,sick people,lack/shortage of food and child headed families.

Creche Programme At least three members from the
committee will be trained to go educate in creches and will be be given an incentive of R400 share amongst themselves
Ideally those involved in this programme will have some drama skills as they will be expected to act and dramatize their messages,this makes more sense to the little ones
The actors are all unemployed and this is some financial support for them 6
