Nets for Tests

is a project that was started two years ago by another Peace Corps volunteer she was not

able to complete the project but her counterpart did

it was very successful

malaria

killer in Malawi Nets for Tests combines both the malaria

aspect of protection

and

the importance of knowing your HIV status

this is

a way that they do entertain

and %uh it's it's voluntary

that

community-based organization drama group

has done it for us this is their third time that they have

performed for us

the first song was more of a solemn song

and I think it was talking about the need

%uh for AIDS awareness

and AIDS %uh testing

and being

more aware of what

what AIDS is and how it affects the community

the second one was sort of a fun song

get tested

related

%uh information on risky behavior

%uh information on milaria
