This entry is a part of our World AIDS Day Blogathon. During this week we share our experiences, stories, and ideas about how HIV affects young people around the world. Join the blogathon .
It is nice to have a day of awareness, but I challenge you to inform people about AIDS / HIV every chance you get. Hand out condoms to friends and promote safe sex!
Today I sat at a table with a friend, condoms and dum dums spread out over the table. The only way to get a condom or a dum dum was to answer a question about AIDS / HIV. If you got it wrong you were giving the answer and still got to get a treat. Our slogan was: Don't be a dum dum wear a condom! =] We handed out about 300 condoms and 80 dum dums.
Afterwards we had a candle light vigil for all those who were taken by AIDS. It was a really pretty. Next year I want to cover the stairs with candles. It was a good turnout; we had a very young speaker talk about how AIDS has affected him.
I hope next year I can reach out to more people.
