In malawi we went on a village tour to see the local school / orphanage and the local hospital. It was encouraging to see when we opened one of the text books that sex education was being taught and the risks of AIDS / HIV were being addressed in schools, at least on the face of it. There's still around a 50% AIDs rate in Malawi and in all the countries that we visited its been between 30 - 50% so its still a massive problem but at least here the children were being educated and when we spoke to the doctor he seemed really switched on about the challenges they face. Speaking to him it also seems that there's still a large % of people that go to witch doctors before they go to hospitals.
