Umeko - There will be many different people attending the AIDS Conference in Mexico City - politicians, health workers, researchers, activists, etc. But there is also a Youth Program specifically for young people attending the conference, and of course there is the Youth Force - which is planning a pre-conference for youth attendees. You can stay updated on Youth Force activities by joining this TIG group: http://groups.takingitglobal.org/aids2008

Jane - Are you having trouble joining discussion boards on the youthaids2008.org website? Or on TIG?

Tale - you can go to the page for volunteers at this address : http://www.aids2008.org/mainpage.aspx?pageId=258

As much as I'd like to attend the conference this year, I can't. So, I'd like to wish for its success and may all the participants be able to learn from each other, put forward their voices and bring back valuable learnings to their respective communities for constructive implementations.

Mexico Youthforce - good work and good luck! I'll be tracking the developments from home!*

Take care people.. See you all next time..

I will participate in this event as a volunteer.

If anyone will attend and is a little bit lost about hotel reservations or touristic activities, feel free to IM me as I'm trying to help people who are in that position.
