A lot of people walk along this stretch of road by the lake, and in the course of the day we spoke to hundreds of people, and gave away as many leaflets. Maybe a life will be saved (or even a chain reaction of many lives!- if you prevent one person getting HIV, you also prevent them infecting others, and those others infecting others......)
Thankfully the weather was nice- Well, hey, it is warm and sunny every day after all!
Last year on World AIDS day there was a big procession involving many schools around Thane, and then in the afternoon there was a big Government meeting with lots of media and politicians. This year there was no big event though, but we did what we could to continue to raise awareness.
It was Lynne's last day with us. She is a nurse from Scotland who worked with us for 6 months. She was a very compassionate and caring person, and will be missed. (Hi Lynne if you're reading this!)
