World AIDS Day. Our experience in Zambia
Lusaka. Zambia. A group of school children play the following game: they all stand in a circle, hands in the back, and they pass a tennis ball until someone guesses who has it. The one keeping it comes in the middle and lets himself fall backwards while his companions hold him. Then they withdraw, one by one, until he collapses.

Basketball Tournament for Integration
Jean, 32, is by all accounts a rather unusual basketball player. In February last year he fled his country, Chad, and spent eleven months crossing Libia, Algeria and Morocco.
