Description

The school children of Alexandra township, South Africa got straight talk on AIDS prevention from professional footballer, John Fashanu -- use condoms. While the topic of condoms is normally taboo among teenagers, South Africa's soaring infection rate makes sex education essential. Out of a population of 40 million, three million South Africans are infected with HIV/AIDS and their numbers are increasing. John Fashanu and other footballers like him are effective communicators for agencies like the United Nations Children's Fund
