WORLD AIDS DAY (2009)
Today, December 1, 2009, is the 21th anniversary of World AIDS Day. This year’s theme is “Access and Human Rights”. Currently, 31.3 million adults, 15.7 million women, 2.1 million children under 15 are living with HIV which equates to 33.4 million people living with HIV worldwide.
As I stated last year, becoming aware through educating ourselves of what the disease is, represents the first step we must all take in fighting against the epidemic. True. But, we must also educate each other of what the disease is; We owe it to ourselves and to our fellow brothers and sisters to lend a helping hand. No good deed is too small. You never know who’s life you might be saving by educating and spreading knowledge.
“…Our voices can make a difference.”
Stop AIDS. Keep the Promise.
