WORLD AIDS DAY CEREMONY
Remarks
Maria Wiseman - President, GLOBE
Maria Wiseman, told a personal story of a dear friend of hers who made a panel for the AIDS Memorial Quilt for her brother who died of AIDS in his twenties. "How do we help our young people?" said Ms. Wiseman. She continued, "We help by keeping the lines of communication open. We help by listening when they voice their concerns and questions about HIV and AIDS, whatever those concerns and questions may be. Today is a day to search our hearts and find how we can best work toward a dream - a dream that someday there will be no new cases of HIV, no more tears for our dying youth, and no more panels added to the AIDS Memorial Quilt."
