HIV Advocates Supports National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is February 7th Get Involved!


February 7th comes by once every year, but for too many it is just another day on the calendar. Just another one of the 365 days that each of us lives through every year. But, the problem of HIV/AIDS in the African American community is anything but a normal problem. National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD) was created to change the meaning of February 7th forever.
Since 1999, February 7th has marked National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day to motivate African Americans to fight back against the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Unfortunately, for many complex reasons, HIV and AIDS have affected African Americans at a higher rate than other racial groups which makes NBHAAD vitally important.


untitled.jpg The four-pronged approach outlined by the governing body for National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is as follows:
  • Education - teach African Americans about HIV and AIDS to help prevent spread of the disease
  • Involvement - the more people working against HIV/AIDS, the better
  • Testing - the only way to know your HIV status is to be tested, and tested regularly
  • Treatment - people should know they aren’t alone and that they will be supported and treated in the face of HIV hardship
National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day will only succeed if more people participate. The onus is on the African American community to protect itself and future generations and one way to unite is through NBHAAD. For more information and resources, visit the NBHAAD website at http://nationalblackaidsday.org/.
Help spread education and hope and stop the spread of HIV and AIDS in the African American community. Celebrate National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day by hosting an event, getting tested, or educating yourself about the problem.

HIV Advocates which is a global initiative that aims to share news, experiences, strategies and new tools that aim to energize human rights movements and communities fighting HIV/AIDS, is the answer. Supported by Levi Strauss Foundation and powered by B-Change Foundation,  HIV Advocates encourages existing and would-be activists to explore the power of social media and other Internet avenues to help spread the message across - that discrimination and stigma no longer have any place in society and that society should accept the LGBT community members as they are.

Digital Nomads and GlocalMe



12309718_868320169933895_1907917255432961660_o.jpgDigital nomad is a relatively new term that describes an individual that earns money online and can travel anywhere in the world as long as they have access to the Internet. They are established professionals and it takes only limited resources and effort for them to start earning money. In other words, being a digital nomad allows you to make a great combination of traveling the world and working. Even though many people associate this word with people who do low-income jobs and stay in cheap motels, the truth is that there are people who are able to pursue big money careers and travel the world.
12558871_157700227938120_2083100134_n.jpgIf you are interested in practicing this lifestyle or you are already a digital nomad, you need to take one thing into consideration – the amount of money you spend for the Internet connection. It can be quite costly to use roaming in every country you visit. However, with the help of GlocalMe, a company that has developed special cloud SIM technology, these costs can be cut. GlocalMe, is a device used as a Wi-Fi hotspot that allows users to find the best operator network. Compared to standard prices paid for roaming, GlocalMe, is 20 or even more times cheaper. This is definitely something useful if you are a digital nomad. Cutting these expenses means that you will get a chance to enjoy more in the places where you are planning to stay for a while.
The usefulness of this technology was recently confirmed by Coboat. This project has a unique concept which allows a small group of people to get involved in co-working on a beautiful catamaran sailing around the globe. Now, thanks to GlocalMe, the participants in this project will have fast and reliable internet connection on board!

Why Macau should be on your Bucket List



Many people overlook Macau when looking for exciting places to visit in Asia. They normally visit the bustling metropolis of Hong Kong and discount the beautiful little city of Macau, only a one-hour ferry ride across the harbor away. Macau is a city of a wonderfully unique blend of both Chinese and Portuguese culture, providing a mix of cathedrals and paved streets similar to those found in Southern Europe, amongst the odd ancient Chinese Temple. The city is probably most well-known for his lavish and decadent Casinos and hotels (such as the Hotel Royal Macau) which line the Cotai Strip (rivaling even Las Vegas in extravagance). So, the next time you are planning to visit Asia, make sure you visit Macau first, as you will not be disappointed.
