On Tuesday May 19th, 2009, for the first time, Mumbai will participate in the 26th International Candle Light Memorial to express support for those living with HIV/AIDS in our city and around the world. It will be held at Shivaji Park, Dadar, from 8 p.m. onwards.
Choreographer Sandip Soparrkar and Supermodel Jesse Randhawa will be putting up a modern dance presentation. The dance revolves around a story of a couple, one of whom contracts HIV and how they deal with family and societal problems that arise subsequently. It depicts the theme of this year’s memorial which is “Together, We are the Solution”, emphasizing that we all hold major responsibilities as leaders and role models in seeking solutions to not only HIV as an epidemic in all its aspects, but also in addressing the underlying issues of HIV and AIDS which are of social, cultural, political and economic nature.
Organised by socialite Parmeshwar Godrej’s Heroes Project, the march will be led by Actors Hrithik Roshan & Nandita Das, National AIDS Control Organisation Head Dr Sujatha Rao, Industrialist Kumaramangalam Birla, Writer Shobhaa De and Dance-extraordinaires, Sandip Soparrkar & Jesse Randhawa.
Venue: Shivaji Park, Dadar, Mumbai.
Date: Tuesday, 19th March, 2009.
Time: 8 p.m. onwards.
Millions around the world are lighting a candle in memory of AIDS victims and to renew their commitment to the worldwide fight against AIDS. We hope that you will also be a part of it.
