Dec 2009 –
World AIDS Day (WAD), which falls on December 1 every year, is a global event where groups of the world over
join forces to publicly highlight the HIV/AIDS endemic.
In conjunction with this day, GSSC Malaysia initiated a fund raising activity by selling merchandise provided
by the Malaysian AIDS Council (MAC). Staff ‘Living-with-HIV’ Champions managed to raise RM5095 from the
sales, which were handed over to the Malaysian AIDS Council (MAC) for HIV/AIDS awareness campaigning
purposes.
During the week before WAD the committee organized a quiz on HIV & AIDS for all GSSC Malaysia staff. The
top five winners were given attractive prizes. On the World AIDS Day; the HIV committee distributed handmade
red ribbons to all staff. This was followed with staff pledges to help end the prejudice.
