The Stop AIDS Campaign and various other societies are organising a range of events on and around World AIDS Day - here's a list of a few:
Stop AIDS Petition signing - all day, all over Cambridge!
We’ll have volunteers (dressed in red!) going around all day with our ‘Push for the Pool’ petition - look out for them and sign the petition! Information on how to volunteer coming soon.
“Where the Water Meets the Sky” film screening - 7.30, Lucia Windsor Room, Newnham
The CUSU Women’s Campaign and Campaign for Female Education are holding a film screening of “Where the Water Meets the Sky” as part of the documentary’s global launch.
Narrated by Morgan Freeman, Where the Water Meets the Sky is the inspiring story of a group of women in rural Zambia who learn how to make a film as a way to speak out about their lives. All funds raised through the screening will support Camfed’s work to educate girls and invest in economic and leadership opportunities for young women in Africa.
Co-hosted by NERDI Film Society, The Humanitarian Centre, The Hub, CU Stop AIDS, CU International Development Soc, CU African-Caribbean Soc, Social Documentary Film Soc.
