Rubber Soul is set to rock out for the third time in Seoul, South Korea this December 4th to commemorate World AIDS day.
This year, we are across three venues: DGBD and Club FF.
Money from the event will go to three charities:
- Little Travellers
"Little Travellers" are beautiful, beaded pins made by women affected by HIV/AIDS in South Africa.
We sell these pins for $5 each across the world, with 100% of funds raised going to help fight HIV/AIDS in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa, where over 40% of adults are infected.
See here for more info.
- The RYE School
The RYE School is an initiative by Meaningful Volunteer, a 100% non-profit volunteer placement organization currently based in the Philippines and Uganda.
Money from Rubber Soul will goes towards building a solar-powered school in the village of Buyaya in Eastern Uganda. About 40% of the residents in Buyaya are HIV+. HIV contributes to 24% of all deaths in Buyaya. Most children under the age of nine cannot read a single letter.
The RYE School in Buyaya will teach English literacy and computer literacy to both children and adults.
