On the occasion of World AIDS Day 2010 falling on December 1st, Y-PEER Kathmandu in collaboration with Mission for Rural Development organized a street drama and candle lighting program at Nyatapola Square, Bhaktapur. The WAD 2010 was celebrated with the theme Universal Access and Human Rights. There was presence of 18 volunteers from Y-PEER Kathmandu and MRD with an audience of more than 150 people watching the drama.
The volunteers gathered at Bhaktapur Durbar Square and then headed to the program venue Nyatapola Square. Different techniques were applied to gather mass for the drama and it turned out to be very effective. The program started at 4:30 PM with the drama on HIV & AIDS awareness which was followed by candle lighting. The street drama proved to be instrumental in disseminating positive message to act against HIV & AIDS. The drama was 15 minutes long and it was performed by the members of Y-PEER Kathmandu and MRD. The drama ended with the flow of positive messages by all the volunteers participating as actors. In the meantime, IEC materials were distributed to the public in huge number and feedbacks and suggestions were taken regarding the program and WAD 2010. The second phase of the program was candle lighting which was very symbolic of hope to act against HIV & AIDS. The locals of Bhaktapur showed great zest by actively participating in the program. The program was able to draw the attention of tourists as well. It was very encouraging to see huge number of young students participating in the celebration. The WAD 2010 was celebrated with great enthusiasm and it ended with new hope.
