First.In.Touch
Under Cross Red Ribbon Alert (CRRA) project, First in Touch (FIT) was held in August 2010, aiming at educating students
on HIV/AIDS through workshop. Among the activities lined up were video presentation and sharing from people living
with HIV which captured the hearts of participants. The highlight of the event would be the candle lighting section,
which drew a wonderful ending of the event.
“Through FIT, I know what is happen-
ing around the world right now-
the stigma that happens to the HIV posi-
tive people and how to fight against the
virus. It is not only about HIV/AIDS, but
creating a healthy and better life.”
