the project is about hearing youths and the deaf youths for behavior change on matters related to HIV/ AIDS. the boys play foot ball after school, where by they use the dialogue model, interaction among the deaf and the hearing youths so that the deaf does not look like they are being shunned, the project is making this also to remove idleness from the boys as this may lead to engaging in risky sexual behavior which results in contracting STIs and HIV/AIDS
Reason:
I think since i have read most of the entries in this competition, none is tackling the deaf community, it seems they are a shunned community and no one has them at heart, i think with the use of sign language among these group, the deaf boys feel they belong and embrace the use of DIALOGUE MODEL to argue their case. it is promoting the use of awareness creation to other stake holders, e.g at the chief's public gatherings to accept deaf as our own and that it is not a taboo.
