why AIDS?!?

mother: can i ask you something?

i've been thinking about this question over and over

why are you always so excited about HIV and AIDS?

me: huh? HUH?

(weird question she asked, but understandable)

don't you think its more meaningful than

building houses and teaching English?!?

educating people about AIDS has got a

broader and deeper impact compared to building houses!

mother: is there other things that you can do

besides building houses, teaching English?!?

me: yeah, work with refugees and mentally challenged youngsters

oh yeah, there is also a project on Women Empowerment!

mother: OH!!!... ... women empowerment,

that's good that's good... you should go for it... ...

*** end of conversation with Mother***

me: *thinking to myself*

WHAT ABOUT EDUCATING

PEOPLE ABOUT HIV AND AIDS?!?!?!?!?!

she totally FORGOT about it!,

nope, i think she IGNORED it totally!
