Life after infection education campaign by UDAAN

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

This World Aids Day was a very meaningful day for Udaan and its

members. Many people approached on the helpline of Udaan and also personally

visited our office after the WAD programme.

Our 50 volunteers helped us to reach more than 50,000 people on the

1st of December. Our volunteers distributed pamplets and handbills with

messages of LIFE AFTER INFECTION for the first time on all railway stations of

Western, Central and Harbour stations in Mumbai and in Pune, all stations upto

pimpri and chinchwad railway stations were also covered during this day.

Our volunteers answered all the queries of the commuters who took up

the time to read the pamplets of Life After Infection and they were also

sensitised with correct information on prevention thru IEC materials developed

by Avert Society.

We got tremendous response from our STALL at Ghatkopar railway

station on that day. More than 600 people personally visited and appreciated

the work that Udaan was doing.

In the evening we had an entertaining programme for our PLHA

brothers and sisters of Lavni (Raja sa Tumchya sati) at Shirodkar Hall Parel

where more than 200 registered PLHA members of Udaan attended withover many

members from other NGOs and CBOs attended.

We thank all those who supported Udaan on this day.

Udaan is actively involved in sensitizing the marginalised

communities during this week. All the sites in Mumbai, Thane and Pune will be

covered by our volunteers during this period.

We once again take this opportunity to thank all those who helped

and are helping Udaan in its mission.

With warmest regards,

Mahendra Kadam
