“I love singing at the most, that’s my passion, that’s one thing that’s just me. If I’m not singing, I’m not me. My name is Tumisang Becky Tsheko, I’m 20 years old and I’m part of a drama group called the Blue Area Theatre Productions. We were invited to be part of the wise up drama training workshop in Maun. And we basically look at tackling the risks of HIV AIDS.”

8.SOUNDBITE (English) Lesego Agang, UNICEF Botswana Communications Specialist:
“Wise up campaign is a multimedia HIV campaign, targeting the youth ages 10 to 24. It’s broken into three categories: 10 to 14, 15 – 19 and 20 – 24. We send these different categories, different messages concerning HIV AIDS. We’ve also realized that sending SMSes through the cellphone wasn’t enough, so what we are doing …we are working with the communities to disseminate messages through theatre.”
9.SOUNDBITE (English), Tumisang Becky Tsheko, 20 years old:
“We’ve got at least seven thematic areas that we are looking at: abstinence, safe male circumcision, multiple concurrent partnerships, HIV stigma, alcohol and drug abuse, and those are themes that we are going to use to create a play to try to tell the youth out there how to solve those problems that we have.”
10.SOUNDBITE (English) Mpho Rabotsima, Wise Up Drama Programme Facilitator :
“I think the purpose of theatre is it distances itself. So when people have a conversation and it’s so much in their faces, in most cases they are reluctant to participate or they are reluctant to discuss issues particularly if they are culturally sensitive. But drama being something that we see that is happening over there. So it becomes easier for the audience because there is an understanding that this is just a representation of reality it’s not actually reality.”

15.SOUNDBITE (English)Tumisang Becky Tsheko, 20 years old:
“I personally have been helped a lot by this training. Looking at the fact that I am a rape victim and before this training I was angry, I was hopeless about my life because I felt that I was raped, what more could I do, how could I go out there and say anything to the world…But by coming here it showed me that I am also a queen because I can take action and be responsible for my life and go out there and teach other youth that life doesn’t end where the problem is.”
