 The first award we'd like to give out is the Carol and Travis Jenkins Award and this award was initiated at the 15th International Harm Reduction Conference in Belfast in 2005. And it's awarded to a person who uses drugs who has made an outstanding contribution to supporting harm reduction either within their own country or around the world. And this year, on behalf of Harm Reduction International, I'm very pleased to present the Carol and Travis Jenkins Award to Abdur Rahim Rajay. Rahim started working as a peer educator for Medicine DuMond in Kabul in 2008. Before this time, he was one of 2,000 people who used drugs living homeless in the bombed and derelict Russian cultural center in Kabul. Rahim went on to be the first person on methadone in Afghanistan in 2010 and also to be an outreach worker working in the infamous open drug scenes at Pulisokta and elsewhere in Kabul. Rahim has challenged human rights abuses against people who use drugs by the police directly on the ground by giving evidence to the UN AIDS Board despite huge personal risk to himself. Over the last two years, Rahim has been building a new drug user led NGO called BRIDGE and in 2015 BRIDGE has conducted community consultations with people who inject drugs and other key populations. Rahim is living evidence of the power that drug user activists can play in galvanizing change and championing health and human rights even in some of the most challenging contexts. His personal bravery, persistence, and courage is an inspiration and we're delighted to award him this year's Carol and Travis Jenkins Award. Dear friends, good afternoon. Thank you so much, Rick. I am very proud to accept this award beyond the over 300 member of BRIDGE or PUL, an NGO formed of Afghan drug user and sex workers. I would like to thank Oliver Maggie from MDM who first meet me in 2008 when I was living homeless in a burnt out building of Russian culture center in Kabul with oppses in my groin and little hope in my heart. Oliver and my friends in MDM offered me the chance to be the first person in methadone in Afghanistan and this changed my life. In 2010 I came to the international AIDS conference in Vienna and I met Matt Sotswell who later that year came to Kabul with Lune Ganget and they helped me set up what was the called Afghan drug user group. Since 2012 I have been working with the co-act team to give a voice to Afghan drug user and I want to thank Matt and co-act team for their solidarity and support. I would like to thank the national AIDS control program, especially Dr. Fido Muhammad Paikon for working with BRIDGE to help us registered our NGO and involve Afghan drug user and other key population. I want to thank all our friends in the WHO, UNH, UNEDC and Global Fund for their funding and support. I would also like to thank the Afghan NGO who hosted our focus group for the community consultation. I would like also to thank Menorah for helping me attending K conferences and I salute my peers and Menorah input. Most of all I want to thank my team of 13 BRIDGE peer worker and our team to translator and technical advisor for working in the ground, deliver the community consultation that reach over 400 people who inject drug and other key population in four cities in Afghanistan. The community consultation shows the significant challenge faced by Afghan drug user and other key population. This award is a great acknowledgement of our work but we now need the funding to carry on and to give BRIDGE and drug user and key population of Afghanistan the chance to be part of the change that is so much needed in my trouble but beautiful country. Thank you once again for this award. Now I have hope in my heart.
