Argélia – Selo emitido em 01/12/2005: “Journee Mondiale de Lutte Contre Le SIDA”, com valor facial de 30,00 dinares.
Journée mondiale de lutte contre le Sida – Depuis plus d’une vingtaine d’années, un fléau commence à prendre des proportions inquiétantes pour l’humanité. Le SIDA, car c’est de lui qu’il s’agit, est une maladie mortelle, transmissible et sans traitement ni vaccin. De nos jours, plusieurs millions de personnes sur notre planète sont affectées par cette maladie. Cette dernière contamine plus de personnes chaque année dans tous les continents. Notre pays n’échappe pas à ce phénomène. Le SIDA, qui a une relation étroite avec la fonction de reproduction de l’éspèce humaine, est en train de remettre en cause l’existence et la notion même de la cellule familiale. A cet effet, des compagnes sont menées en Algérie afin d’attirer l’attention des gens et les interpeller sur ce sujet vital. Il s’agit pour tous de s’informer sur cette grave maladie car, aujourd’hui, le premier moyen de défense contre ce fléau reste l’information. Fonte: (www.poste.dz).

The special surprise at the Life Ball 2005 is the presence of the international top model Heidi Klum. The major charity event, the “Life Ball”, is once again being held in the Vienna town hall. This event, founded by Gery Keszler in 1993, attracts huge interest in the media and its aim is to raise funds for AIDS research. As every year, top models will open the event with a parade of creations by famous international fashion designers on a huge catwalk in the shape of the red AIDS ribbon on the square in front of the town hall. The opening of the ball and the fashion show are not just for those who hold one of the coveted admission tickets, but for everyone. Each year, over 35,000 people gather on the square to experience this glittering spectacle at close quarters. The amazing ball that follows inside the town hall is attended by roughly 4000 guests and celebrities in their outrageous costumes, with live appearances by international stars, performances, dance-floors, a wide variety of entertainment and of course gastronomic delights. The halls and courtyards of this historic building are decorated specially for this ball. The involvement of the artists, models and everyone else is meant as a sign of humanity, tolerance and understanding. A special surprise at the Life Ball 2005 is the presence of the international top model Heidi Klum, who as part of the 2002 event championed the good cause by appearing on stage. Heidi Klum, a native of Bergisch Gladbach, began her career in 1992 by beating almost 25,000 competitors to win “Model 92”, an RTL TV programme to find a new model. This brought her the coveted model contract, and led to her decision to take up this difficult career, in which she succeeded by sheer hard work and persistency in making it to the very top of the world's supermodels. She now also uses her international reputation to market selected products that are allowed to bear her name.

Posta Uganda in collaboration with Uganda Stop TB network (USTP), World Health Organization and the National TB & Leprosy programme launched the USTP stamp issue at a colorful ceremony held at the General Post Office. The function was presided over by the acting Director General of Health Services, Dr. Kyabaggu who stood in for the Minister of Health, Hon. Major Gen. (Rtd) Jim Muhwezi.
The stamp issue was made specifically to highlight the three life threatening diseases in Uganda and the world over which are Tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and Leprosy and the theme for the launch was:
Become an agent of change…Fight the cycle of stigma. Simply say it with a stamp!
The launch was also attended by a cross section of stakeholders in the Health and Communications sectors notable among which were Ms. Rosamunde Lewis, the WHO country representative and Mr. Patrick Masambu, the Executive Director of Uganda Communications Commission.
The stamp Issue consists of a set of six stamps and each stamp costs only Uganda shillings 400. On the stamps are images of two elderly male Leprosy patients, a TB infected mother who passed it on to her baby also in the stamps; these two are currently in hospital undertaking treatment.
