PIASCY
A picture of kids with a sign at school. In Uganda the government set forth a program called PIASCY, standing for President Initiative Aids Strategy Communication for Youth. All school that I’ve visited, and I’ve visited at least 10 different ones in Uganda, have signs posted all over that give kids advice about how not to get aids and how to stay safe. I’ve seen some that are very sweet like this one, or ones that say things like “don’t take things for granted” or “Brother, sister, life is no game. Lose it once and there it goes”. There’s the common “Avoid dark corners” and then there are some that have unfortunately awkward language. I’ve seen “Sex is not food” , “Never go into Discos”, “Run away from strangers as far as your legs can take you”, and “Small and large breasts are all good”.
