The time has come to remember those we have lost to AIDS. This is no remote AIDS campaign. This is an evening to remember friends, families, neighbours, lost to the pandemic.
We joined this international candlelight memorial movement in 2001, and we managed to raise the State AIDs Society out of its ostrich like slumber.
This Sunday, at 6 PM at St Xavier's School, Gandhi Maidan, Patna, join ACT India [Aasra Charitable Trust], supported by the Student World Assembley and Student Global Aids Campaign for a one hour memorial of music, poetry and reflection in memory of those we have lost to AIDS.
Several people and organisations have joined hands with us, since this is a community grass roots event. St Xavier's school has donated space. Rose Bud, Nav Deepti Academy, and several other schools have prepared items for the event.SAMAR, a local youth group has also joined hands in helping us organise this function.
Contributions in cash or kind are welcome - this will help us defray expenses.
