Flags Mark World AIDS Day
The green space in front of the University Centre was filled with 2,300 red flags Nov. 30 to visually illustrate the magnitude of AIDS in Africa. Each flag was a statistical representation of 10 people who died from AIDS last year in Lesotho, an epicentre of the AIDS epidemic in Africa. The display was part of U of G events for World AIDS Day. There was also a reflection service, which marked the success of the University's Masai Project: For Africa, for AIDS, for Hope in meeting its goal of raising $100,000 in support of a city-wide $1-million campaign for an AIDS clinic in Lesotho.
