New Zealand: City to Join Rest of World in Lighting Up for AIDSMay 15, 2003 This article is part of TheBody.com's archive. Because it contains information that may no longer be accurate, this article should only be considered a historical document. Local residents have their chance to join with about 2,000
communities around the world taking part in Sunday's annual AIDS
Candlelight Memorial. The memorial has been held each year since
1983; this year's theme is "Remembering the Cause, Renewing Our
Commitment." Sexual health promotion adviser Stephanie Wirihana
said last year about 30 local people lit candles in memory of
those who had died of AIDS. The memorial honors those who have
died, supports those living with HIV/AIDS, and raises awareness
of the need to fight the disease, Wirihana said. For more
