MASYAP joins the first Blantyre Police AIDS Candlelight Memorial
MASYAP staff and members marched, sang and lit candles at the first Blantyre Police AIDS Candlelight Memorial.
MASYAP was invited to the first Blantyre Police AIDS Candlelight Memorial. The Candlelight Memorial began in the United States in 1983 and is a time to remember and reflect on those who have died of HIV/AIDS by lighting a candle in their memory.
The day began with a parade through the streets of Blantyre, followed by performances at Blantyre Police Station. MASYAP staff and members held candles during the minute’s silence, and our Support Group Coordinator, together with members of a nearby support group, sang for the gathering.
