World AIDS Day on 1st December 2012

Shanker Foundation in collaboration with the Darjeeling NGO Network and Darjeeling District AIDS Prevention and Control Unit is organising the 2012 World AIDS Day on 1st of December at the Rink Mall Complex in Darjeeling.

The theme for this year's observance is "Getting to Zero" Zero New HIV Infections. Zero Discrimination, and Zero AIDS Related Deaths. The World AIDS Campaign focus on "Zero AIDS Related Deaths" signifies a push towards greater access to treatment for all. Perhaps more importantly, it also calls upon governments to keep the commitments they have made to fight the deadly disease.


The program is targeted at creating awareness on HIV/AIDS and will feature talks by Positive Speakers; the launch of the Positive Calendar 2012; HIV/AIDS bill campaign; street theatre and cultural programs onHIV/AIDS and performances by local bands. Kiosks with informationon HIV/AIDS with seasoned counselors will be available to the public throughout the day.

Get involved and show your solidarity! Come and join us in the World AIDS Day celebration and spread the awareness.
