Lunch talk

Hello again from rainy Vilnius!

We've just come back from very nice place called "White Elephant" - the cafe/pub where almost all food is indian, bartender speaks russian instead of common english and you can find perfect mint tea. During the lumch we started to discuss HIV/AIDS in our countries and found out that 1% estonian citizens are HIV positive, that at least three of MCPs talked to HIV positive people at some conferences/hospitals, that few of us made this virus test.
Why I mentioned it here that very we (AIESECers) pretend to be an experts in smth, but we are not. How many members of AIESEC Russia made HIV test? How much we REALLY know about the virus? Who of us talked at least once to HIV-positive person?

I've got an idea to bring some NGO to National Congress to tell about HIV. Very simple thing to do.
We are talking about war? Let's invite somebody from the army.
What about homeless? Drugs addicted? NGO which works with racism and tolerance?
It's very cool to add "connection time" to the agenda and discuss the topics. But we often have nothing to discuss. Because we have no fucking idea of what is really happenning. Not online.
But every day in somebody's life.

Настя, завтра я заключаю партнерство с такой НКО.
И я вам об этом говорила.
И брошюры их были уже на Саммите как начало работы.
