yes, I agree with this issue. we have to avoid danger and protect our health, like ICT said “Serious games for serious health problems”
In theory the game is supposed to teach youth about HIV. I watched people play it at the Generation G-panga and couldn’t see how it taught much. I also asked some teenagers in Kibera who played it what it had to do with HIV. They didn’t know, they said they were too busy playing the game to notice.
