South Africa - Cape Town - HIV positive educator

Bonile Peter leads a discussion during a training session for members of TAC (Treatment Action Campaign) who had volunteered to participate in a community HIV/AIDS edcuation project. He is HIV positive himself and often talks about his own story when he does educational work.This is taking place in a classroom in Khayelitsha, the sprawling shack settlement of nearly half a million people situated on the sandy 'Cape flats' near Cape Town. The HIV positve T shirts are part of a popular campaign led by the advocacy group to challenge stigma. This photograph was taken as part of the 'Day in the Life of Africa' project.
