Cooking In the Rain
We do not mind cooking outside in the rain. Or sleeping in tents. What matters to us is staying together. We are quite aware of the fact that when we are together, we don’t even think too much about HIV.
We cannot afford to do this in most urban environments because no one wants to live next door to 12 boy at-risk. And we can’t afford urban environments anyway.
This rain turned into sleet and ice later when we were sleeping.
All we could do was laugh.
We face lots of stuff – especially stigma – when we are together. But we will fight to stay – together. Because we are one another’s support system in a nutshell.
