    The event on the Candle light memorial service went well and motivative. The solidarity march started at 5pm from the UN Drive Suopermarket to the Lutheran Church on 14th street sinkor. As we approached the church, a beautiful cross rap around with red ribbin which is the symbol to remember those that lost their lives to HIV/AIDS around with, and for those affected and infeceted. Candles were beautifully lighted to remember them follow by an indoor service, which brought the days activities to a closed.
