1st December is the World AIDS Day. Since it is the semester break for students of INTI International University, we decided to organize an online event for the first time ever in conjunction with this World AIDS Day. This event is more on creating awareness towards the online users especially users of social websites like Facebook and Twitter.

| Facebook users changed their display pictures to Red Ribbon. |
Our first step was to urge everyone in Facebook to change their display picture to the Red Ribbon to show their support towards this event. Surprisingly, this was done not only by the students of INTI International University but also LEOs from other Leo Clubs in District 308B1 as well as LEOs from other countries.

| 10 Interesting and Useful Facts about AIDS |
The next step we took was posting out 10 interesting and important facts about HIV/ AIDS. This was done hourly from 11am to 11pm on the 1st December 2010. These facts are including definition of AIDS, ways of prevention, how it infects the people and also the statistics of people suffering from AIDS in Malaysia and the world. These facts are taken from the newspapers as well as reliable national websites. In addition, we also included some links to the stories, images and videos on the victims of AIDS so that some experience can be obtained from that.
This online event officially ended at 12am of 2nd December 2010. It ended with us thanking everyone who supported this event directly or indirectly. We have also suggested a website for those who are interested to do more than this such as voluntary work or any sort of donations.
