This World AIDS Day (December 1st), the Global Health Council unveiled the official poster and theme for the 2009 International AIDS Candlelight Memorial taking place worldwide on Sunday, May 17th.

The Global Health Council is proud to announce the theme for the 2009 Candlelight Memorial: "Together, We Are the Solution." The theme is meant to reflect the Candlelight Memorial's mission to promote both global solidarity and resolution to end HIV/AIDS, and that only when we work in partnership together can we see change.

Coordinators are encouraged to use this theme in conjunction with their own local themes.

To officially commemorate the start of the worldwide memorials, FIX OUR WORLD is teaming up with Make Poverty History, the Stephen Lewis Foundation & CURE Canada to educate, motivate and mobilize the city of Hamilton with innovative approaches to issues surrounding the HIV/AIDS pandemic. In an effort to positively diversify our approach, we will be sharing the experiences of several Guest Speakers, local schools, local musicians and bands among a host of national and international guests.

It will be a special way to reach out to thousands of youth and 119 countries around the world that will also be joining us in celebrating this event.

We believe this will be an exceptional way to get the message out to the world that we are all responsible to fix our world.

We look forward to this memorable event with great anticipation.
