World AIDS Day 2011

           This December 1st, we observed World AIDS Day with the theme "Getting to zero. Zero new HIV infections. Zero discrimination. Zero AIDS-related deaths. Together we can get there." Volunteers from NRCS balkot subchapter and NRCS Balkot Yuba Circle : Chandra Shrestha, Diwakar Silwal, Umesh Silwal,Jay Raj Poudel, Krishna murari Poudel,Sunita Silwal, Dipesh Shrestha,Rukesh Shrestha and many more had a stand in front of NRCS Balkot Subchapter buliding. In that stand they distributed the AIDS logo "Red Ribbon" about 300 in numbers to the local people to show that all of us are equally dedicated to getting zero infections. Also in that occassion they distributed about 1000s of free condoms to the local youths and people so that they would grow the habit of wearing condoms and have safer sex. The posters and pamphlets about the HIV/AIDS and other STDs were also displayed there.
           The local people seems interested and eagerly asking what was going on there. Taking away free condoms and leaflets-containing information about HIV/AIDS and other STDs. Not only the people who passes by were involved but also the buses that passes by were stopped for a moment and the volunteers distributed condoms, logos and leaflets to the passengers and drivers.
             Through this program we were able to send our message about getting to zero to many people that day. Here are some of the pictures taken during that program.
