Jour Mondial de SIDA

World AIDS day (or Jour Mondial de SIDA) was December 1st. The acronym SIDA stands for Syndrome d'ImmunoDéficience Acquise, basically the same as in english, but in the french order.

Unfortunately "sida" is also the word for "husband" in the local dialect of my region, mooré.

To spread the message on how HIV is transmitted the theater group at my lycée held a performance on the following Thursday. They performed a 4 act play and afterward acted out skits that they had individually worked out on the side. They were really good and very funny.
