Youth Initiative Canada in partnership with Vancouver based Artists is organizing a benefit concert to mark the world Aids Day on the 29th of November 2009. The organizers of the event hope to crank up the volume on HIV/AIDS awareness in Vancouver and also support Youth Initiative Canada Projects in Kenya. 

The best way to communicate a potent message to a large and receptive audience is to present it in an easily digestible, informative, empowering and entertaining way: music has this ability. 

World Aids Day Vancouver “JAMIN LOCAL AND IMPACTING GLOBAL” is focused on creating awareness locally and globally on the pandemic and generate positive action to stop the spread of HIV and eradicate AIDS and take action towards achieving millennium development goal number 6.
