Take action against HIV/AIDS

One of the programs element is different kind of action weeks, when DI’s has to take action against something of for something. Our team topic for last action week was “Take action against HIV/AIDS”. United Nations have agreed about 8 Millennium Development goals. Adopted by world leaders in the year 2000 and set to be achieved by 2015, the MDGs are both global and local, tailored by each country to suit specific development needs. And one of the these goals, Nr.6 is “Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases”.

So, April team 2010 put the target- to touch Danish population and inform them about fight against HIV/AIDS, to tell them about the disease and ways, how we can stay against it, how we can help ourselves and others. One of our posters said: “Just because you can’t see it  doesn’t mean it's not there”. Two of our team mates went to Germany -Cindy and Raul- to look sites for clothes collection containers. Clothes, which are collected in these containers are sent to cloth shops in Europe and Africa. The income of shops, which are located in Europe, are donated to our projects in Africa. These projects are related to combating the HIV/AIDS in Africa. We are very happy that Cindy and Raul managed to put April team 2010 contribution in this fight.

The rest - Davis, Rolands and Liene - made action in Copenhagen centre. We touched around 700 hundred people. With some of them we had nice conversations, some of them, in the daily life rush, just took bookmarks and AIDS “pins”, which we made before. Also we made HIV test and encouraged others do the same! Our goal was to make people think, to destroy common unconcern about HIV/AIDS, because it’s our all responsibility not only Africans problem.
