The Street play was followed by a quiz for crowd on topics related to HIV/AIDS.
The first question of the organizers was the name of the vaccine that can help a new born baby whose mother is a HIV/AIDS patient completely free.
Unfortunately, no one was able to provide the correct answer to the questions. Therefore it can be assume that HIV/AIDS awareness is still very low in and around Kangpokpi.
The organizers then, put another question whether HIV/AIDS can be transmitted through shaking hand, dining together, hugging etc.
Interestingly, one youth step forward to answer the question and flatly denied transmission of HIV/AIDS through shaking hand or dining together. The organizers handed over a cash award before the other witnesses and claimed that their tour program will surely bear its fruits.
