I have been havng this idea for some months and I am really happy that we were finally able to carry it out! These cards include an awareness message about AIDS- which is our focus MDG and were bought from the deaf and blind school in Sri Lanka. Therefore it serves three purposes. 1. An awareness message about AIDS is spread with the cards 2. Since the cards were bought from the deaf and blind school, we are supporting their school 3. A small sum of money would be collected for our future AIDS Awareness projects. 2 bombs just exploded today, so the country is in a big state of excitement and worry...
