Red Week in the University of Newcastle!
Medical Students from the University of Newcastle gathered together in April to support the global movement to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS. Speaking to over 500 medical students plus the wider university community, they sold hundreds of ribbons, condom roses and over 1000 cupcakes. There was a Trivia night, a Global Health shortcourse, personal insights from Dr John Schwarz, founder of the African AIDS Foundation and a Red Party to finish the week off, which is part of a national initiative co-ordinated by the Australian Medical Students Association Global Health Committee. The whole week raised just over $4000 for the African Aids Foundation. Thanks to everyone who got on board!
