The students made a 130-foot-long red ribbon to spread the message: hate the disease, but not the patients.

"It is our duty to show the students a red light towards the disease. It's also to make them understand why this disease is dangerous, why they should be careful from that and how."
Over 900 girls participated in the campaign.

"We usually have an indifferent attitude towards AIDS patients, but we should not do that. We should be careful about the disease."
