The World AIDS Day Project The 2015 World AIDS Day Committee is reaching out to the public and asking them to create a World AIDS Day meme. This can be ANYTHING. It can be words of hope, messages of awareness/statistics, remembering someone that was lost to HIV/AIDS, etc. Our goal is to collect memes from Tucson, across the US and around the globe. On December 1st 2015 the entire collection of memes will be shown at The Loft Cinema at Tucson’s World AIDS Day. We are having a sister celebration with our friends from Students for International Change in Tanzania via a live feed! Your messages will be heard from Tucson to Tanzania. Once completed please message them to the World AIDS Day facebook or email them to Heather Mororo drmoroso@mac.com. In Swahili, “TUKO PAMOJA” means “WE ARE UNITED" For more than 25 years communites from around the world have individually been celebrating World AIDS Day on December 1st. Our goal is to bring some of these communities together. World AIDS Day is an opportunity to create awareness about HIV/AIDS from a global perspective. HIV/AIDS has similar effects on people’s lives everywhere but cultural and environmental differences cause the fight against HIV/AIDS to be intrinsically unique to each community. We want to celebrate these similarities and differences. Creating an international dialogue about HIV/AIDS has the propensity to increase a global Awareness, which collectively brings people together with a sustainable and much broader understanding about HIV/AIDS. We hope this broader understanding can span the globe and bring communities together in our fight against HIV/AIDS.
