Publication workshop for students

JAKARTA: The AIDS Foundation on Wednesday held a two-day
workshop for students on how to organize majalah dinding
(publications on notice boards).

Mira Fajar Aviatri, the program coordinator of the AIDS
Foundation, said that the workshop involved 56 students from 14
selected high schools in Greater Jakarta.

She said the workshop, which was being held on Wednesday and
Friday, was aimed at making the students aware of the dangers of
the deadly Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), and encouraging the youngsters to
take part in efforts to tackle them.

"Majalah dinding is very well-known among students. And I
think it's an appropriate medium to disseminate information on
HIV/AIDS," she said, adding that the workshop had been organized
in accordance with the 2001 World AIDS Day, which will fall on
Dec.1.--JP
