World AIDS Day 2008


Today is world AIDS day 2008.

There are tons of thousands of AIDS victims each year around the world but we have good news. According to Koichiro Matsuura, Director-General of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the death number in this matter is decreasing. The following is a piece of note of Koichiro Matsuura’s address:

A six-fold increase in financing for HIV activities in low- and medium-income countries since 2000 is yielding results, including a decline in the annual number of AIDS deaths in the past two years from 2.2 million in 2005 to 2 million in 2007.

Let us create peaceful and healthier world!
