Youth Alive Conference 2010

We organized a HIV conference (Youth Alive) on last Saturday. It is a project under AIESEC. The objective  is to spread awareness on the issue of HIV, protect human rights and also indirectly encourage the contribution of youth to community. 

 here we are the OC and Faci team

So, actually when i started to involve in this project, no doubt i get to know more about HIV/AIDS. There are 87million (not sure whether is this amount, should be correct) people in Malaysia who reported as HIV positive, and counts one of them will spread to 4people around, so the population will keep increasing. That why spread awareness on this issue is PIVOTAL.

We have free HIV testing on that day, I choose to test.

I really scared at that moment. Who know the result is +ve? But ho kar chai, I am HIV -ve. 

Some of them said "no need to scare what, I am confidence''. But you know it doesn't mean that you will get HIV positive if you are involve in free seks. It can be spread to you, who know in a blood donation? Who know when you save someone actually HIV +ve in an accident? Who know... there are so many possibilities. 

But please bear in mind, you are safe to work with people who got HIV +ve, to have a meal with them, to talk, to have body contact with, the virus WON'T spread to you. 

HIV virus is rich and spread through 

1. human milk

2, sexuality fluid

3, blood. 

People with HIV +ve is just same like us, they live the normal life like us, and they have their rights to carry on their life. They can marry, they can have their child, ( just need the consultation and advice from doctor) 

Don't ever discriminate.

I learnt a lot in this conference, there is a speaker Mark from AIDS Action & Research Group (AARG), his talk about "Sexuality and HIV/AIDS. It was a nice talk. He sent the message through interesting way, he have the interaction with the audiences, so they will not get bored and they gain the knowledge.

I am happy to be part of the OC team. We achieved out targets which is more than 150 audiences and it is really glad that all of them went back with a good feedback and the atmosphere on that day just awesome. The most important is we achieved the objective, the audience are going back with the knowledge and awareness of this issue for sure. 

our  banner by lay see, hehe!!

Hey, my banner seem simple, but it took me lots of time to design it, 

don't judge a book by its cover.

There is a value here, many things seem easy to get, for instance the top students always get the good result, you will feel jealous (how come he always so clever),  but everything happens with a cause, you don't know how many effort actually he did put on.

ps, i don't mean my banner look very good, but not bad what, just mean simple but also not easy.

So, thanks to everyone who support our conference, Faci team, sponsors, media, audience, speakers and...

Thanks so much...
