World AIDS Day 2007 Campus Campaign

This campaign called on college students to respond to AIDS by expressing their concerns about HIV in the form of "T-shirt graffiti". Specifically, some of the students wore white "World AIDS Day" shirts featuring the red ribbon on the front and some writing on the back; other students were invited to communicate their thoughts and ideas by writing with permanent markers on their peers' shirts. The images in this photo gallery convey the atmosphere. The idea was that, by continuing to wear the shirts on campus and beyond, students would be a walking messenger and conversation-starter.

As a follow-up to the campus activity, a 2-hour-long interactive session in a local coffee shop provided an opportunity for sharing feedback and reflecting - in an open discussion initiated by the volunteers - on how followers of Jesus Christ can respond to the fight against HIV/AIDS.
