AUB Students Run to
Spread the Message...
Not the Virus
AIDS is
claiming the lives of millions of victims every year,
despite the efforts to spread awareness against the virus.
Joining forces worldwide on how to limit the disease, the
Lebanese Red Cross at AUB organized for the third year in a
row its AIDS Awareness Campaign.
On December 1, World's AIDS Day, AUB students participated
in the AIDS Run, running all around campus, starting and
ending at West Hall. They then all joined in the wearing of
the symbolic human AIDS ribbons to mark the day.
"This year's motto was 'Spread the message… Not the virus,'"
said Houssam Sleiman, member of the Lebanese Red Cross at
AUB and a second-year electrical engineering student. "Our
campaign consisted of a run, the wearing of the AIDS
ribbons, and the display of awareness statistics and
posters." |
