Day 8 - AIDS 2008
After a lovely night in our lovely new hotel we travelled to Centro Banamex for the last time ever. We only just managed to hold the tears back. Despite this very emotional start and a heart wrenching (but inspiring) plenary that followed, we had a very enjoyable first session on male circumcision. The cultural and medical pros and cons were discussed by a very passionate and straight talking panel including our mate Supreme and a lady we met over breakfast one day. It was hard to recognize her without the yoghurt and granola combination sat in front of her.

MTV Staying Aive stole Ruth away for the rest of the day to wine and dine her. She was actuially meant to be filming a bit about risks in the UK for a series called 'Sex...Uncovered', but Mexico City weather was having none of the roof top location and so she just got to chat to some really cool people about sex issues in their countries all afternoon. What a bummer. ( Yes she is of the beavis and buthead style generation...what can you do?). Anyway her not doing much work made me feel much less guilty about having a free arm, back and head massage (like I felt anything other than tingly, relaxed sensations anyway). It was almost like being touched by the magic hands of a god.

We've just finished filming our high budget and uber professional guide to chic campaign wear - bag made from t-shirts are actually the way forward! Ruth has been frantically typing an article on SRE from the rights perspective which will be v. intersting so check it out at the UNICEF youth voice website.

Tonight were going salsa, salsa, salsa dancing...but before hand we’re going to consume a bit more meat...make the most of it while you can people!

Day 7 - AIDS 2008
Today has been full of cultural exploits...including trying to find a hotel that doesn't smell of poo and, slightly more importantly, a trip to Teotihuacan. Teotihuacan is 'easily the largest of Mexico's archeological sights. The name translates as "the place where men became gods"'. Thank you 'rough guide Mexico'. Equally vital was the fact that it provided access to fresh air and sunshine, something that the lovely Banamex people have yet to make a feature of their conference centre. So basically it's a lot of cool pyramids that almost killed us to climb. But made for a fabulous location to shoot the classic in the making 'Ruth and Sophie: impressions so far' - in box offices soon.

We've also been planning a written article for UNICEF Youth Voice . So have a quick goosey gander in the next couple of days. Also look out for another little visual treat. Through out the conference we've been collecting shed loads of t-shirts. Some cool, some not so...we thought you'd all appreciate a bit of our magic on how to make your campaigning t-shirts vogue worthy by showing you how we've improved some of our bad boys.

Tonight we're going to go to bed early as Ruth (DESPERATELY) needs her beauty sleep. She needs to be vaguely fresh faced and ready to talk about condoms on MTV tomorrow. Bed time 8 me thinks.

If you fancy it why not check out the golden tonsils of our mate Supreme from South Africa and his sweet, heartfelt messages . Sophie's really looking forward to his session on male circumcision...yes, really.

Peace out

Day 6 - AIDS 2008
Wednesday, August 6, 2008,
First of all it's just plain silly that it's already day 6!

Secondly Sophie has been unnaturally worried about having needles poked in her head. Today we spent time in the traditional healing zone in the crazily vibrant global village - this fantastic area offered free acupuncture...so why not make the most of it? Probably the fact that you have to have needles poked into you actually...
Although Ruth is verrry excited about the good dreams she will be receiving tonight from having a needle in the 'point of a thousand ghosts'. Otherwise know as the middle of your head. Along with this incredible benefit the healing of Sophie's lower back has probably saved UNICEF considerable litigation costs from the amount of cameras and equipment we've been dutifully lugging around.

Pizza for breakfast managed to fuel a media mental day. We've been grabbing many an interesting interview for our sex education project and for you to sit back, relax and enjoy.

Today we saw one of the most interesting sessions so far with a panel of incredibly involved young people talking about youth participation and the HIV and AIDS response. We've seen so many experienced speakers this week in high profile positions that were no where near as engaging or eloquent as some of the panel today. Probing questions made for some very exciting and lively discourse.

We rounded off the day with another session on harm reduction which has become something that we feel should be central to U.K focus of our work. This was closely followed by an impressively horrible meal that's we attempted to eat whilst being serenaded by a whining Mexican songstress. The fun we have. Thankfully Alice saved the night with some tasty, tasty churros and chocolate.

On the Unicef website, in the youth section, there is a section about the Unicef Uk Young Filmakers Awards. It was a joint win between Wrecked and Past Caring. I was one of the filmakers of Past Caring (you may be able to see me in the picture. I'm wearing a black jumper, grey skinnies and pink Vans) It was an amazing experience and I'm exstatic that we won. Have a look at both Wrecked and Past Caring on the Unicef website - There are links to both films along with interviews with the film makers) and show your support for all the work Unicef does.

Thank you =]
