Passer à l'action..

Reginald and Steve are from SEROvie in Haiti. They have found the conference a useful place to inform the International participants about what is happening to vulnerable groups in Haiti. They said that since the earthquake the situation for people living with HIV/AIDS has become more desperate, with groups like MSM who are facing verbal and physical violence in the temporary shelters or the tents
SEROvie feels alienated from the Anglophone Caribbean and while they acknowledge the efforts of CVC, they feel that more needs to be done to offer tangible assistance like to help to find projects and funding. They have found that is better to go to France and Canada.
They did not bother to go the Pancap Caribbean evening
They found that the conference languages - in English, marginalised the persons from Haiti and other parts of La Francophonie who cannot speak English . In Mexico, French translation was available.
They have been trying to meet with the Clinton Foundation which represents the UN on the Haiti Reconstruction Plan to ask the question 'Where are the people with HIV/AIDS in Haiti's reconstruction?' They have not been able to get this meeting, even as part of the coalition. (In the Regional Session, Dr Jean Pape noted that the CCM head was part of the Reconstruction team)
Steve said that he has participated in too many meetings and he and Reginald said that it is time to passer à l'action
