December Theme Day: Circles and Spheres
posted by Kerry-Anne
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.There are 187 blogs taking part in today's theme day. See how the theme has been interpreted around the world: click here to view thumbnails for all participants.

very fun post for theme day - love the swirl of bright color & a good tie in to Aids day. Thanks for the reminder.
Excellent photo! I hope your new minister of health is far wiser about AIDS than your Pres. Mbeki was.
Lovely fresh eye, loving yr pics, thanks from a fellow Capetonian
Thanks Pablo - glad that you're enjoying it. :)
