Moeding College, a senior secondary school located in the sleepy village of Otse, has been the hub of activity as young people took a positive step in reclaiming a hope filled future. Three hundred and twenty one of them made the pledge for sexual purity. And by honouring this pledge they will rest assured that they will not fall prey to teen-age pregnancies, contract HIV/AIDS or even get infected with the numerous STI’s, some of which are debilitating and even life threatening.

As our north rally team zip and zapped through rallies in towns small and large, Suzzane Taylor tagged along capturing raw footage, with her handy camera, which she hopes to turn into a documentary. She would like this documentary on HIV/AIDS to be refreshingly different and with FTN being a program that focuses on sexual- purity she is not far from her goal.

She experienced first hand the inner workings of a rally team by traveling and living with them for 3 weeks. It was crazy at times, a hectic travel schedule, squashed in a 13 seater van, sleeping in tents in the freezing cold, getting home too tired to cook but too hungry not to cook, but through it all she experienced the passion and faith that drives our volunteers and the essence of what Face The Nation stands for: giving it all for the sake of others.

Who is she? She is a young lady from one of our partner churches in the USA, Johnson Ferry Baptist Church, where she is pursuing her masters in documentary filming. . She is hoping, in time to be able to enter it into student film festivals and of course to make copies available to us for our resource centre.
