As Jamaican youths we stand very proud to be able to be among the 1000 youths and 25,000 adults/organizations represented here at the Toronto AIDS Conference 2006.
We take this opportunity to thank the Jamaican Government, the Ministry of Education and Youth, UNFPA,JASTYLE, UNAIDS,UNICEF,Children First, TakingitGlobal, Advocates of Youths and the Local Host of Toronto AIDS 2006 for providing the opportunity and space which enabled not just our presence but our participation and representation at the highest levels.
There are approximately twelve Jamaican Youths representing five to seven Jamaican and over-seas based HIV/AIDS related organizations.There has been much dialogue at the Pre-conference and even now at the Conference level. All this has opened doors of opportunity and fosters greater networking possibilities. With a greater resolve we will go home to impact our society in this global fight against time, against stigma and discrimination, against HIV/AIDS a pandemic that has hit the Caribbean region with the force of a million watts!
We are determine to continue the fight because in the end we are all vulnerable. We also see it fit to maintain not only dialogue but action, afterall it's time to deliver!
One Love!
