At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
National Latino Aids Awareness day is observed in the USA.
Organizations, activists, and the people of America who want to bring awareness to the realities of HIV in the Latino population observe this day.
2003 was the first time this day was observed.
National Latino AIDS Awareness Day was started by the Latino Commission on AIDS. Dennis DeLeon was the leader. The Hispanic Federation and different country groups also supported this day.
In 2003, more than 100 cities around the United States observed the National Latino Awareness Day. This day was started under the leadership of Dennis DeLeon by the Latino Commission on AIDS. The Hispanic Federation and local groups also joined and supported this campaign. The theme of that year was 'Prevention Saves Lives.'
Every year on October 15, campaigns are established by Non-profit organizations and community centers all over the USA. These campaigns conduct HIV testing, promote information and resources that help prevent HIV and provide health care services.
There are many events held by local organizations and centers on this day. You can do your part by volunteering or donating to any campaign related to the HIV cause.
To understand the importance of this day, you can read about the HIV epidemic, the stigma around HIV patients, or HIV/AIDS research about its treatment and prevention.
You can participate in this day by spreading the word on social media about HIV/AIDS and how this affects the Latino people using the hashtag #NationalLatinoAidsAwarenessDay.
16% of the US population are Latino, but they made up 29% of new HIV diagnoses cases in 2019, which highlights the importance of this for the Hispanic community.
In 2019, the Latinx population in the US that was uninsured was 22.5%. The uninsured US population is 10.4%.
In 2020, approximately 37.7 million people in the world had HIV, which marks an urgent need for awareness around this disease, and days like National Latino AIDS Awareness Day are a good start.
The National Latino AIDS Awareness Day was first promoted by The Latino Commission on AIDS or LOCA organization.
This day is significant because it helps in imparting useful knowledge and resources to the Latinx community about HIV.
People follow this day by volunteering in or supporting HIV prevention campaigns, supporting HIV patients, and by strengthening public health resources for Latin people in the US.
People follow this day because a quarter of newly diagnosed HIV cases in the US belong to the Latino demographic. This day helps in raising awareness and preventing HIV.
The National Latino AIDS Awareness Day originated in 2003 by efforts of the Latin Commission on AIDS. Dennis DeLeon was the leader then. This day was created to recognize the disproportionality in the effect of HIV on the Latin population. Other organizations like the Hispanic Federation and local groups also joined the cause.
