The red stripes on this unusual round kite reminded me of the fact that it's World AIDS Day today. There are currently 33 million people living with HIV worldwide - and an estimated 5.5 million of those live in South Africa. Our new minister of health, Barbara Hogan, today encouraged men in particular to get tested in order to slow the spread of the disease. You can visit the website of the Treatment Action Campaign to learn more about the disease and find out what is being done to overcome this challenge in South Africa.
