Today is World AIDS Day
Was just wondering if anyone was taking part in any activities for World AIDS Day. I'm involved with our local HIV/AIDS organizations and we've planned our annual vigil that will take place in a couple of hours. It tends to draw a small but faithful gathering but is a very moving experience. We used to do a candlelight vigil but Mother Nature has thrown us some curve balls for the past couple of events that proved challenging in keeping flames lit. Last year we used red glow sticks which produced an incredibly peaceful effect. While geographically our area accounts for a very small number of cases we had 13 new cases diagnosed in the past year.
So much work still to be done.
