Little by little we make a bundle

Yvonne Sliep & the CARE Counsellors
This paper describes ways of engaging with communities in externalising conversations. It includes examples of conversations that took place in a number of villages in rural Malawi in relation to HIV/AIDS. Yvonne Sliep and the CARE counsellors developed a particular way of facilitating these conversations. One worker plays the role of Mr/Mrs AIDS, who represents HIV/AIDS; and another plays the role of Mr/Mrs CARE, who represents the community. Members of the village are invited to ask questions of these two characters, and a conversation develops.
