When thinking of the global devastation of AIDS and the body count of millions of lives crushed and lost — there are no happy trails. So when you come across a story that actually involves children smiling and even grooving to the subject, without being smacked by statistics, it can reignite a fire of change within. (That feeling is also accompanied by rows of smiley face emojis for the future.)
This fresh piece of sunshine, done in collaboration with Grassroot Soccer of South Africa, is part of a transmedia series called Stand Up Planet. It features international comedians, including Mpho Popps (South Africa) and Hasan Minhaj (India), tackling global issues with humor. As part of their mission to educate, Stand Up Planet also produced this video about male circumcision, a preventative tool used to help reduce the spread of HIV. Thumbnail image via Thinkstock.
