HELP NEEDED!

I am organizing a 16 day campaign

"Unidos para poner fin en la violencia

contra la mujer y prevenir el SIDA",

16 days of activism to celebrate the International Day Against Violence Against Women and World Aids Day.

We are looking for volunteers to help organize the event, to visit the universities, and to participate in this campaign.

Here is the link with the activities (www.iesalc.unesco.org.ve and click on "Unidos para poner fin en la violencia contra la mujer y prevenir el SIDA")

I hope that some of you can help us in this initiative.

Warm regards,
