Joint World AIDS Day Events in Geneva

In Geneva, the international organizations¹ joint event this year
will be held in conjunction with the local events in downtown Geneva on Saturday 1
December. We are planning on holding an ecumenical prayer/worship service
followed by a candlelit march around the lake with the famous Jet d¹eau in
view. The Jet d¹eau will be lit in red during the march! There will be a
drinks reception with speakers representing local and international
organizations and people living with HIV and AIDS which links in directly to
our chosen theme, helping communities to ³Take the Lead.²

As is tradition, there will also be a series of activities held at the
Ecumenical Centre in the week leading up to World AIDS Day. This will
include a worship service and possibly the screening of a film ³Angels in
the Dust.
