Dear happy people Positivos,

Positivo team is having a terrific time and is sending you their best wishes from a place where tropical spring is arriving exactly now. Today’s special is Clare’s birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLARE, not to mention Pierre’s brother and newly-born nephew, happy birthday and welcome to the world for them too.

To quote again our cherished president : ‘Positivo is absolutely rocking in Chimoio’.

And this is true. On monday, we met Africare and students from the school 7 de Abril for a first theme investigation, recorded local artists’ songs and finally found the theme-question for the workshop :

‘In which situations do you think it’s wrong to have sex ?’.

On tuesday, we produced flyers for the concert, met health professionals from the health centre and hospital, tested the question with 15 students, talked for an hour on the radio and worked on the song’s playback.

On wednesday, an electrical problem occurred and did not allow us to organize a proper concert in school. We somehow managed to realize an accoustic animation and collected 238 answers to the question, which were analysed in the afternoon in Africare’s offices and at night in Positivo’s headquarters. Africare found a generator for our next activities.

Eventually, thursday was a good workshop day, only disturbed by a 2 hours delay in food delivery. We still managed to record all the pupils’ voices and Roland is now mixing the final version of the song, that will be named Noramanguana (Tomorrow).

You will find recent pictures of this week in the gallery, and the new song on the frontpage on next monday, after tomorrow’s official 3 hours concert and final presentation in school. The band won’t have time to rest since another concert is programmed at night in GESOM cultural centre of Chimoio.

So we keep you and ourselves updated.

Love and smile
