Woo (of Vhutshilo Mountain School) is featured in Ubuntu Magazine!

Woo is 12 and HIV positive. "She is not afraid or ashamed to tell people about it,” says her mother Sue-Anne Cook, who adopted the then two-year-old after her mother and grandmother died.
Woo now goes around to schools spreading the message that being HIV positive is not a death sentence. She is in charge of her own medication; does a lot of cooking, loves sewing and is filled with life.

Woo gives antiretroviral workshops to children in schools and hospitals around Limpopo explaining the importance of taking their medication. She was even flown to Scotland to speak about the crippling effect of the virus.

Read the article in Ubuntu Magazine that features Woo and her mom and the amazing work that they do.
