WAIT teaches people of all ages, races,
religions, and cultures about the science of HIV. We advocate getting tested,
living abstinent until a lifetime partnership, and good health care for those
infected. We teach through the
performing arts and other talents and skills, including electronic media and

Notes From All OverThe recent For full
--Willis Omondi,
WAIT Youth Coordinator, “Your
clips are so sweet; in fact, I really loved them. How is everyone? We are doing cool…I am currently working at
a street children rehabilitation center in --Vincent
Ochie, YFWP Kenyan WAIT member Here’s a response from For the Full Ireland trip report, click here:
“I
still keep on getting extraordinary positive feedbacks from coordinators of
different youth groups that participated in your workshop shows. Some of the young people witnessed the WAIT
team show and are trying hard to practice what you’ve imparted to them, and
they all feel that it’s really revolutionary! “Two
girls from Sheriff Youth Club decided to call off their dates that night
after the presentation and they believed it was just providential for them to
have done it. The boys whom they were
supposed to date were also present in the WAIT show and didn’t make any
resistance to their girls as they understood well now what respect for others
really mean and that if it’s really love that they feel for each other, they
must be willing and can wait for the “right moment.” “Some
of the boys in the same club who tried to make advances to the WAIT team
girls asking their contact numbers were impressed by the coherency and
consistency of the girls when they received a simple no from them, and were
told that they have to listen much better to the message that WAIT has just
given them. They understood that
lifetime choices need sacrifices and discipline. They’re now asking me for
help in order to maintain this new “light” that they have within them through
your help! Pity me, now I’ll have more
work! “Some
of the minors that participated related to me that now they understand why
some of their relations have HIV/AIDS. They understood that faithfulness to
the partner is essential in married life or long-lasting relationships. They are now engaging themselves a lot in
sports so as not to have any idle moment for them to think differently from
what you’ve imparted to them.” --Robert Samson, Catholic Youth Care, Arran Quay, Response from “I
must say that reading your news did two things: 1) it brought tears to my
eyes as I realized how important and powerful the WAIT message is; and 2)
your testimonies really “puts flesh to the bone” as far as reports go. Roberto, you and the WAIT team have really
begin a revolution in --Marshall
De Souza, WAIT Last but not least is the report from Aunt Grace Davin, about the response of the “They
are very interested in training and another presentation of WAIT. He gave a couple of testimonies: 1) When his
group sat down to listen, they thought this is going to be “cheeky”
(corny). But found out it grabbed
their interest and liked the program. 2) One father,
the next day, said to Matt, “What did you do to my son?” Apparently, he came home excited about WAIT
and his behavior was different. 3) Matt (the
director) said that he and his sister (who is in charge of the younger group)
have been talking about how to get parents involved. So Matt and I talked about trying to get
parents to attend (the WAIT training) especially as the training implies
commitment and any interest from the parents will enhance that. “The
Club wants to schedule 2 presentations and a training
in April. In summary, Matt and his
friends are quite enthusiastic about WAIT and Matt sees the need for the
message, but the kids too!” --Grace Davin,
Syracuse-NY WAIT coordinator |
