Dear Friends, Warm Greetings from Positive People
With a humble beginning in 1992, Positive People has come a long way in its endeavour to address HIV in Goa (India) and now is in 25th year of its existence. We achieved our first milestone in 1992 itself when a revolutionary fight led by Late Dominic D’Souza, our Founder led to the amendment of the Goa Public Health Act which called for mandatory isolation of people living with HIV. Since then, we have been pioneers in the efforts to address HIV in Goa for the last 25 years with the unstinted support and generous contribution of well-wishers, the government as well as donors. We are now the only organization in the state addressing HIV in a holistic manner, with interventions in prevention, care and support and advocacy. We are also the only organization which has interventions in Goa with people who inject drugs with a full-fledged oral substitution therapy centre. We are committed to enhance and diversify our programmes keeping in mind the needs of people living with HIV and people who inject drugs . On this momentous occasion of the silver jubilee year, Positive People proposes to publish a commemorative souvenir. We would like you to write a message which will be published in our souvenir. We would also appreciate if you contribute towards advertisement in our souvenir. Get in touch with us at peter.bor...@positivepeoplegoa.org or 9923700342.
