The Ribbons

Maktab Duli's very own 'The Health Awareness Club' has been putting up posters on various informative health facts in promoting their aim - obviously in supporting HEALTH. I suck lots in reporting.

Yes, thank God that I have not been asked to write anything for MD Gazette - about anything - or else that the number of readers would decrease drastically.

I just realised it today that a poster of a huge ribbon made up of 4 colours of ribbons was displayed in the library. People unawarely took off the ribbons thinking that it was purposely made for MDians to wear it. It was but not the ones ON THE POSTERS. There were boxes full of different colours of ribbons place near to the exit of the library - and that is where you can get them.


Yes, thanks to 'The Health Awareness Club' for the meaning of the coloured ribbons. I just knew it today that...

The orange ribbon = against Leukemia
The white ribbon = against Teen Pregnancy

As for the red ribbon is against AIDS and pink is against Breast Cancers, rainbow is against Gay Rights or was it supporting Gay Rights? And blue is against Child Abuse. I got all this from our GP class discussion.

Update: I googled it - its a rainbow flag; a freedom flag; as a symbol Gay and Lesbian pride.

I 'strongly' against AIDS. And I have done my project on AIDS PANDEMIC; I know AIDS.

So people, read this..

Avoiding AIDS is as easy as ABC.

A which stands for Abstinence
B
which stands for Be faithful
C
which stands for Correct and Consistent use of Condoms

You can be one of them.
So before it is too late, educate yourself.
