World AIDS is just a few weeks away. What will your organization do to
ensure that you use the day effectively to raise awareness of HIV and AIDS
on 1 December?
Consider The World AIDS Day Special Edition of The Ripple Effect:
It will be a 24 four page bumper issue covering all aspects of HIV. The 16
Days of Activism against Gender Violence also falls in this period and we
(in conjunction with People Opposing Women Abuse – POWA) will focus on
gender issues as well.
It just costs R6 per copy including VAT and delivery. It is probably the
most cost-efficient tool to sensitise staff.
FREE Branding is available to organizations that take 1000 copies or more
The edition is being edited by Mr Alan Brand – a prominent person living
with HIV, author and member of SANAC (The South African National AIDS
Council).
Some of the topics which will be covered in this year's issue are:
HIV Basics: What is HIV?; Prevention, How the virus works etc.
The 2008 World AIDS Day Theme
