28 NOVEMBER 2013 | AIDSFOCUS.CH CELEBRATES ITS 10TH JUBILEE

Bern / Wabern | 10 years ago, aidsfocus.ch was initiated by members of the Network Medicus Mundi Switzerland who felt the need to share knowledge and experiences and to join forces in the AIDS response. We have come a long way, but AIDS is not over yet. We are convinced that getting to zero new infections, zero AIDS related deaths and zero stigmatisation is feasible, if the world community keeps up and renews its commitment. We take the occasion of the 10th jubilee of aidsfocus.ch as an opportunity for looking back and for energizing ourselves for the way forward towards an ADIS-free future.

aidsfocus.ch will celebrate the 10th jubilee with a get together with partners and friends, some speeches and music with the South African musician Evaron Orange and friends.

"In diesen zehn Jahren hat aidsfocus.ch enorm viel Verständnis für das Thema Aids in der Dritten Welt geweckt, wofür ich Ihnen und Ihrem Team meinen besten Dank aussprechen möchte." (Ruedy Lüthy, Harare)

Time and place: 17.30 – 20.30, Bernau - Kultur im Quartier, Dachstock, Seftingenstrasse 245, Wabern/ Bern, http://www.bernau.ch
