By the end of the day AIDS was completely erased— at least in halls of Wilson High School. Global Citizen Corp Leaders there organized activities for World Aids Day on December 1st. The day is set aside for the world to focus on the continuing spread of the AIDS pandemic and to raise awareness on how to prevent it. To educate their peers GCC leaders wore red and encouraged their classmates to do the same in a display of solidarity with those afflicted. They put up posters around the school with facts and statistics and had a table set up in the hall where they passed out pins, ribbons and informational booklets. On the wall they had a banner that spelled out AIDS with condoms that were meant to be pulled off as a reminder of the simple things that can be done to prevent AIDS. By the end of the day the banner was blank, the table and posters were gone— any trace of AIDS had symbolically disappeared.
