Went to watch one of the youth play soccer. His older brother is sitting to the left. They are a family of nine children. Their father has died of aids, and their mother is HIV+, although she has managed to find ARV drugs and has improved. Their youngest sister contracted HIV from their mom through her pregnancy, and she is not doing so well due to her age and the side effects of the drugs. Their mom sells bread to make a living, and is only able to send the second oldest, the one who also plays soccer, to school. The oldest boy, Gillom, wants to be a nurse, yet has been out of school for years.
