WJT-Rucksäcke für AIDS-Hilfe versteigern...

Written by Administrator
Friday, 19 August 2005
WYD / David Boucherie When Cologne author Christian Gottschalk heard that a colleague had sold his official blue WYD bag in an ebay auction for 80 Euros, this got stuck in his mind. Authors, especially freelancers, always do need additional cash. Lateron Gottschalk heard a pilgrim from Kenia on TV saying the church's prohibition on condoms was a good thing. This stuck in his mind too. And after a while he had an idea: Make a charity auction with World Youth Day bags with all the money going to a project for AIDS orphans in Africa. Als der Kölner Autor Christian Gottschalk hörte, dass ein Kollege von ihm seinen blauen Weltjugendtagsrucksack für 80 Euro bei ebay versteigert hatte, ging ihm das nicht mehr aus dem Kopf. Freie Autoren brauchen nun mal Geld, und auch Gottschalk hatte so einen Rucksack. Dann hörte er im Fernsehen einen kenianischen Pilger sagen, er fände das Kondomverbot des Papstes super. Auch das blieb hängen. Dann zählte Gottschalk eins und eins zusammen: Eine Rucksack-Auktion zugunsten eines afrikanischen AIDS-Waisen-Projektes, das wäre es.

Finally, the little War on an Issue, it's the Condom!

At WYD Toronto "Pro-Choice" and "Anti-Abortion" groups had demonstrations. And now, finally WYD cologne has an issue like that which can be fought over in the streets. It is "pro-contraception" versus "pro-abstinence". Pro-Condom activists had a press conference for the use of condoms criticising the church for its official anti-contraception that they hold partly responsible for high HIV/AIDS-rates in catholic-dominated countries. And they put up posters in the subway stations with slogans like "Abstinence has a high failure rate". Now, the other faction has stricken back - attacking the posters.
