AIDS is real
This mural project has been realized at Kwansakrom Ada Junior High School in March 2009 with students between age 14 and 17 as a part of the HIV/AIDS prevention work.
It allowed the students to look into the subject HIV/AIDS. The resulting mural will remind students, parents and others of the omnipresent threat of AIDS and encourages reasonable actions. Working with oil paining at the wall has been a special experience for the youths as they did not yet have much exposure to art.
Through dealing with the subject HIV/AIDS the students developed new ideas and an awareness for their own actions. During the project they gained new experiences through hands-on exercises. The creative design of the mural allowed the youths to get involved with AIDS education and to increase attention for the subject in their surroundings.
