As part of our Christmas action (along with sending in pictures of your Christmas trees decorated with red ribbons) we asked you to send us your dance4life Christmas wishes. Here’s a selection of some of our favourites so far…

“I want to meet at least 5 people in the Christmas holidays and teach them something they didn’t know about HIV and dance4life.”

“I wish that all young people will continue to work together to get Johnson&Johnson and other big pharmaceutical companies to join the Patent Pool to make HIV medicine affordable worldwide!”

“My wish is that people, especially young people, stop thinking of the HIV pandemic as a taboo topic and are more open to discuss, because I think it will be a great stepping stone to finally rid our world of the virus!”

“My christmas wish is that the Nigerian government rethink their policy to discriminate against those who are gay or questioning. I wish that they think about everyone’s right to be happy.”

“I wish that…2012 is the year that the world starts listening to young people everywhere so we all have a real chance to be heard regardless of where we come from so we can stand together!”

Add your own wish on our Facebook page, or by emailing it to rach@restlessdevelopment.org and maybe we’ll feature it too.

On Friday 20th January, MPs around the UK will be voting on whether to make abstinence-based education compulsory in schools for young women aged 13-16.
