Description:
"In My Life" is an edited volume of writing by 14 young people from several
township schools in the Western Cape, South Africa, on the subject of HIV/AIDS in their everyday lives. It was published in 2003 by the Centre for the Book (South Africa) and McGill University (Canada).
"In My Life" investigates how HIV and AIDS plays out in the lives of the youth participants, in their homes and their communities. It is striking in the finished work to see the enthusiasm and the dedication of the youth to come up with new and inventive ways to tackle the AIDS pandemic and to keep 'getting the word out' in their communities, schools and peer groups. This book is part of that ongoing dedication, and will hopefully serve to inspire and raise awareness in other youth.
