Ever heard the story of the boy child.....

He quickly throws down his bundle of books, removes the only pair of uniform he has, and neatly but hurriedly folds it away. He is not going to wash them; washing will only make them wear out faster. The uniform is only washed once a week, or when it is visibly dirty. He goes out to the shed and picks up his guiding stick. It is a hot afternoon and he has to go out and graze the three cows they have.

He is the firstborn of the family and the man of the house. His father is dead; died of some disease. He does not know much about this disease, they told him it is called HIV another said  AIDS. He wonders "which is which".
