29 November 2010
World AIDS Day, on December 1st, will be taking Barcelona by storm. The 2010 campaign’s goal is to raise awareness that will lead to prevention, but also to the promotion of early diagnosis, in which case those affected will have a better chance of survival. Barcelona has joined forces with Lluita contra la Sida Foundation, taking on the phrase, “if you’re not infected, you’re not affected”. These events will begin on 30 November, when at 7 pm, the lights in Placa Jaume will be turned off as a symbol of need for action by UNAIDS. The following day, beginning at 10 am, many organizations will provide materials, information, and be running activities at Placa Universitat. While activities will be taking place here as well as Placa Jaume all day, there will be a Gala at Hotel W at night. The Gala against AIDS will have attendees of both Spanish and global importance. The goal is collect money in order to be capable of further AIDS research and also to donate to the smaller organizations which have been working so hard to promote knowledge about AIDS for many years. The money received from the Gala, donations, and bracelet sales (the bracelets read “jo dono la cara per la sida”), which will be going on throughout the day as well as days after, will all be compiled and given to Lluita contra la Sida Foundtion for AIDS research. The “Let’s Take on AIDS” campaign, which was created by such organization, is an Internet initiative that accepts pictures from people worldwide who want to share an AIDS story. It takes these images to create a type of mosaic of their faces. The major publicity of this event in 2010 will hopefully benefit the organization and bring in lots of profit for the fight against AIDS.
