[Viva] World AIDS Conference 2012

[Margarite Sanchez]

For anyone who is applying.... on the applications they usually want to
know what your involvement in the HIV community is and how you will bring
what you learn back to share with people in your region.
Just a thought.....
You can send ViVA updates during the conference and/or write an article
about your experience at the conference. Girl Talk, in the Positive Living
magazine would love to have an article from one or more positive women who
attend and that would reach all the members of PL society.

ps Kathy I think you will find lots of interesting things in the schedule
regarding mental health. Once the Conference Programme comes out you can do
a search for workshops and seminars on any subject that interest you.
