Since 1988, on the initiative of the World Health Organization, the first of December has been World AIDS Day. Called World AIDS Day in English, this international day is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic. Today, more than 35 million people are HIV-positive worldwide. This day is obviously not the only time to focus on this disease but only the opportunity to mobilize the planet in unison to fight, carry out information actions, raise awareness, raise funds, etc. A moment also reserved for the memory of the deceased.
Here are eight ways to make your contribution:
1) Wearing the Cruciani bracelet
Signed Cruciani and sold for 12 euros on the e-shop www.crucianic.com, part of the sale price of this bracelet is donated to AIDS to help researchers treat the sick. Elegant and made of macramé lace, your wrist will love it.
