To create awareness amongst students of SJC about HIV/ AIDS, members of Joseph’s Aids Awareness Movement (JAAM) enacted a street play in campus on the occasion of World Aids Day on Wednesday. The play ‘Yaake Heege’, witnessed by many students, carried the message that one must empathise with AIDS patients and not sympathise with them.
“Through this play we wanted to throw light on HIV/AIDS and wanted students to be more aware and cautious about AIDS,” said Nikitha, student coordinator of JAAM.
There were many food stalls with a variety of cuisines that attracted the crowd. The proceeds of the food stalls will be forwarded to NGOs that work with AIDS patients.
The members of JAAM recently visited orphanages like Infant Jesus home, Snehadan and leprosy center Sumanahalli, where they interacted with the AIDS affected patients.
