On December 1st all around the world people united in the fight against HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS have claimed the life of millions of men, women and children and as volunteers in Guatemala along with our local communities and counterpart agencies, we have joined the fight to stop the spread of HIV and discrimination of people living with the virus.

| Human Ribbon |
In the department of Quiché, we commemorated World AIDS Day with a parade with students, health staff, hospital interns, volunteers and kids working with the office for human rights, the parade ended in the central park with some basic education about transmission and prevention of HIV/AIDS and how to live along side people living with HIV/AIDS. It was a
great success and several people participated. Aside from that activity, I also
had an activity planned here in site with the youth. We had a parade on the
main road leading to the soccer field where we formed a human ribbon and later
hosted an HIV and Soccer workshop, which was developed last year by volunteers. We tried to
have a soccer tournament but there was no referee and since I know nothing
about soccer, we had to postpone the tournament to a later date.
