WORLD AIDS DAY -- Time: 5:30 PM
Monday, December 1 @ Daley Plaza

Every day, approximately 6,000 children lose a parent to AIDS. That means we have 6,000 reasons to care, 6,000 reasons to act -- every day. Each year WorldVision takes 6,000 steps in honor of these children to help raise awareness and to advocate on their behalf. The walk is at 5:30 PM, meeting at Daley Plaza and ending at Moody Bible Institute. After the walk there is an opportunity to build caregiver kits for volunteer AIDS Caregivers in Africa. These kits provide basic necessities to help care for AIDS patients in Africa. To find out more and to sign up, visit the event website.
