Contribute to this year's WORLD AIDS day.... here are a couple of facts for you...
Read about what some of us have done this year as reported by MSN Malaysia
So get on with it then! It'll take you literally minutes, to simply say what you feel about AIDS, the fight against it, the hope we have its demise, the love we have for those affected by it.. whatever you want to say.

We're aiming for 13,000 messages by the end of 2010 in honour of the 13,000 lives lost in Malaysia (to date)
I was very proud to be invited to be part of a campaign to increase AIDS AWARENESS in Malaysia.
A bunch of us were invited to do a shoot, in which we had to hold up statements relating to this disease that threatens our very existence on this beautiful planet of our's. We could either choose from a selection of statements or come up with our own. With the help of Mum and my Sis, I came up with something 'original' so to speak.
This is part of Ruumz Causes and their aim for AIDS AWARE in conjunction with the PT Foundation, is to collect 13,000 messages (all relating to AIDS) on their website in remembrance of the 13,000 lives that have been lost to AIDS here in Malaysia. All this by December this year.
