Cape Town is celebrating World Aids Day!!!

Last but least we were joined by Lucille Sinclaire, Fouzia Titus and Nazley Rogers. We were talking about an event they are planning for the World Aids Day which is tomorrow, the 1st of December. World AIDS Day has been celebrated since 1988. It is about increasing awareness of HIV and AIDS, education and fighting prejudice. World AIDS Day is important as it reminds people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done. It is reported that in Sub-Saharan Africa, 22,4 million people were living with HIV and AIDS in 2008. More than 14 million children had lost one or both parents to AIDS. Although the HIV epidemic in South Africa appear to have stabilized, South Africa still has more people living with HIV than any other country. This year’s theme is 'iBambeni - Take Responsibility'. The event will be at the Golden Acre between 9 and 12h00PM and move to Thibault Square for a human chain between 12h00 and 14h00PM. If you want more information contact Lucille on (021) 461 1124, Fouzia on (021) 461 5508 or Nazley on (021) 465 1310.
