Letter from POSITIVO campaign manager

486Dear positive people everywhere,

I would like to take this opportunity to share with you my thoughts on Positivo and what we are doing.

2007 was a year of changes for all involved in Positivo. Following Roland, Helio and Pierre’s trip to Mangunde, where they created the amazing song “Eu nao tenho medo (I am not afraid), Helen and I spent many evenings discussing the Positivo concept, with friends working in health and HIV prevention. Within a week there was a consolidation of ideas and principles that we felt were important.

POSITIVO vs ALMA Round 2

Hello Positivos all over the planet,

Tomorrow friday the 4th of april is Workshop Day in Cine-Teatro Tofo in Inhambane to record a song on Environmental Protection and Waste Management with the ALMA crew, who dedicate themselves to clean our beaches and cities in Inhambane province.

On the 15th of March, a public concert in Tofo market sealed the first collaboration between POSITIVO and ALMA, whose members happily sang improvised lyrics on organic rubbish and recycling methods. Pictures of this concert are available in our gallery.

Positivos are impatient now to record a powerful song with Mozambican voluntary workers, our gift to the planet.

All the best

POSITIVO

Positivo started cooperation with CNCS

CNCS, the Conselho nacional de combate ao HIV/SIDA is the main state administration of the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Actually, they want to join our music activities and give us the task of producing a research book about HIV-development in the Inhambane province.

Pierre Dufloo, the Positivo writing director: ” They are challenging us, we will succeed already this afternoon.”, his words while licking his shoulder.
