✨ World AIDS Day 2025 ✨
Theme: “Overcoming Disruption, Transforming the AIDS Response”

Last December 1, we stand together not just to remember—but to reaffirm our commitment to awareness, education, prevention, and unwavering support. As our City Mayor highlighted, a healthy, informed, and stigma-free community is one of the greatest legacies we can offer to the next generation.

With inspiring messages from HIV AIDS Program Coordinator Joel Napuli, an eye-opening lesson on HIV, and a courageous testimony from an HIV survivor, the event became a powerful reminder that compassion and knowledge can save lives.

The candlelit memorial closed the program in solemn reflection—honoring those we lost, supporting those who continue to fight, and igniting hope for a future free from stigma and fear.

❤️🕯️ Together, we overcome. Together, we transform. 🕯️❤️
