Tuesday all secondary classes were collapsed in honor/awareness of WORLD AIDS DAY 2009. The students were split into various groups and were given tasks to raise awareness. Some groups did a dance, some did art, however, my group wrote a song to raise awareness of AIDS in HK.
I was a bit apprehensive at first, simply because I was not sure how the logistics would work or what Maggie (my CT) had planned. But as the morning went on and the students were very excited and into the activity.
Maggie created a "back-track" and the students wrote the lyrics, rhythm and melody....all original.
Here is what they wrote:
(Verse 1)
Hong Kong is so BIG, and I feel so small.
I stay home, left out, feeling fearful and contagious.
I am avoided, hoping for help.
People must know that I exist.
(Chorus)
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Fight for your life!
(Verse 2)
There's always hope, we know we can fight for life.
We know we can fight for live.
We know we can fight for freedom,
We can fight for anything.
Find your stream of life when you feel hopeless.
(Chorus)
(Rap!)
Protect yourself from HIV
Causes AIDS
defeat the desease
it's unstoppable but understandable
Responsibility si what we need.
Families need help
education fee
unable to work
differs on daily life
excuses on top of my head
is that it?
(Bridge)
Shouldn't be a mark of shame
Shouldn't be a mark of shame
No, not a mark of shame!
Time for all of us to speak out
Time for all of us to speak out
Yeah, yeah let's speak out!
(Chorus 2x)
Here is their dress rehearsal! So awesome!!
