Marking the world HIV/AIDS in Ålesund (Norway)

as the world is marking this day 1st of december world wide we in Ålesund also had a stand at Moa shopping mall which started from 4pm to 7pm.


we started by matcing from Møre Romsdal Red Cross office 200metres walk with fakler fire burning to Moa shopping mall where we had our stand.




We as the youths in Ålesund chose to dedicate all our efforts organising for this day, we believe that working as one body with one spirit gives out better result.




Though the Ålesund Red Cross youths is two weeks old now since we formed it, they showed good participation and had strong spirit of work which beautified this day and our stand in general was perfect,
 We had christmas tree as a stand being decorated with red ribon by people who were coming in to the shopping mall.
we would have decorated the x-mas tree our selves but we thought that it could be good for people to participate in this by hunging red ribon on the tree and makes them know what the red ribon simplefies.

 I was so curious from the start of the program but as it continued i get loving it becuase there was positive response from people who where going to shop and they were our prey as we catch them right from the entrance
we had both the old and young people coming for te program this is to show that no matter how old you are, old, young you can still get HIV/AIDS

Before December I had also called Norwegain Church Aid ( NCA) to find out if they will have a stand?  Its always good to have pertnership with other Organizations and we had stand at the same point with Norwegian Church Aid in conjunction with Change makers(youth groups under Norwegian Church Aid)
Believe me I loved it, they were so good we shared views and ideas as we were working and not forgetting fun too, becuase in Red Cross Red Crescent we always have to have fun to easy our work load.

Always have a goal and target and surely you will reach it,they say one is better than nothing and we did recruitted one new member in to the family of Ålesund Red Cross youth which was one of our forcus during the stand.relaxing the body with Pizza is always good to get freshen up. i feel that this is my family. what else can someone think of when you have great people around you and you are far from your family?..... WELL FIND OUT THE ANSWER IN THE NEXT EPISODE OF MY ESCAPADES IN NORWAY...
