The school nurse and volunteers from different classes sensitised us to the HIV infection. We wore red instead of our usual uniform to match AIDS colour, just for that day.
In France, today also is the day reserved for communicating around genetic diseases and collecting money for research. The pupils who took care of it wore yellow T-shirts. They organised a 'téléthon' with murals in the hall for this occasion.
What a kind and clever way to raise awareness of this issue! The paintings are beautiful. I'm glad you learned from this experience.
