Rubber Seoul

Come out and share the world with Little Travelers and Medipeace!

December 5th the world will be celebrating World AIDS Day and you can join in the celebrations right here in Seoul. Little Travellers and Medipeace have joined forces to offer you a day of awareness, discussion, fun and most importantly the opportunity to help those affected by HIV/AIDS.  
  
On the evening of December 5th the event "Rubber Seoul" will be taking place in Hongdae for its second year running. As well as to raise money the event is being held to remind people to have safe sex. This is a very important issue since the Korea Centre for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 99% of the new cases of HIV/AIDS found in 2008 were transmitted sexually. What Rubber Seoul is offering is access into three of Hongdaes most vibrant clubs: Janes Groove, FF and DGBD and be able to see some of Seoul's hottest bands, all for a tiny 10,000 won. If that's not enough you will also receive a Little Travellers doll to take home with you. Last year over 1000 people came out in Hongdae to join in Rubber Seoul and we raised an astonishing 12million Won. Which really helped improve women's lives in Africa. So don't miss out on this years event, come along have fun and help us to help others.  
  
Also on December 5th Medipeace are offering an interactive discussion with expert opinions. Not only will they address the dangers and medical facts surrounding AIDS but also the wider social issues such as the discrimination that people with AIDS live with and how we can change the stigmas attached with AIDS. It is of pivotal importance that AIDS ceases to be ignored and viewed as an irrelevant problem in Korea if the steady spread of the disease is to be halted. So come along and join in the discussions.  

So, come party for a good cause on Dec 5th. Please don’t forget to check the Rubber Seoul 2009 Facebook page for updates on venues and bands! Also checkout http://rubberseoul2009.wordpress.com/.
