World AIDS Day Commemorations 2008

[Guest guest]

Dear Colleagues,

 

We commemorate December 1st as World AIDS Day and re-iterate our resolve to

unite in the fight against HIV. The theme for this year's World AIDS Day is

Leadership under the slogan “Stop AIDS, Keep the Promise.

(http://www.worldaidscampaign.org/en/Media2/Files/wad-theme-2007-and-2008).

 

World AIDS Day Commemorations 2008 (www.worldaidsday.org.in) is a participatory

space, where organizers can directly provide details of the event they are

organizing. You will be happy to know that to encourage commemorations in remote

areas, we have designed the site to aggregate and display events even at the

block level.

 

This initiative will help us in:

Learning from each other

Publicity, for greater participation

Providing opportunities for adding more value to the event and clubbing of

activities for greater impact

Identifying areas of low activity to plan interventions and a bigger

mobilization in future

 

We request you to kindly upload details of events or activities that you are

planning or will be involved in on World AIDS Day.

After the activity is over, please post photos, brief reports on your

commemoration. When uploading photos, kindly remember to include

captions. UNAIDS, though the NGO Gateway (www.nogateway.org ), will felicitate

the best entries and photographs and with your permission, include some of them

in publications and publicity materials, with due credits.

We look forward to campaigning with you in a strengthened response to the

epidemic.

 

With best regards,

Ranjan
