The International Awareness and Involvement Committee of the Greene County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated commemorated World AIDS Day in downtown Eutaw. World AIDS Day is a global movement to unite people in the fight against HIV and AIDS. It is celebrated every year on December 1st.
A prominent World AIDS Day banner was displayed which attracted numerous residents of different communities to visit the booth and gather valuable information including fact sheets, brochures, red ribbons, prophylactic, and a few other novelties. The purpose was to get the community aware, involved and to keep them protected. 
Since 1988, communities have stood together on World AIDS Day to bring awareness and show strength and solidarity against HIV stigma and to remember lives lost.
World AIDS Day exists to shine a light on the real experiences of people living with HIV today, while celebrating the strength, resilience and diversity of the communities most affected. It is a moment to inspire the leadership needed to create a future where HIV doesn’t stand in the way of anyone’s life.
Red is a symbol for World Aids Day. Please remember to wear your red ribbons on December 1st.
We are greatly appreciative for your continuous support in our efforts to make a better Greene County.
Ms. Fatima Robinson serves as Chairperson, Dr. Carol Zippert as Co-Chair, of the Chapter’s International Awareness and Involvement Committee. Mrs. Phillis Belcher is Chapter President.
