On December 1st World AIDS Day, DB4 conducted a Health Awareness event. The purpose of the event was to bring awareness and education about  health issues like HIV/AIDS, Breast Cancer, Heart Disease and Diabetes. We partnered with organizations like BEBASHI, Heart Associate, and The Epilepsy Foundation. All screenings were free as well as the food and refreshments. We tested 32 people for HIV, had a one hour Zumba fitness session and conducted a one hour presentation on breast cancer awareness.
