Morocco-designed giant red ribbon to be unrolled at London town hall
Morocco-UK, Local, 11/13/2003
A giant red ribbon designed by five Moroccan stylists will be unrolled at London's town hall next December 1st, to mark the world anti-AIDS day.
The 25-meter long ribbon will be presented in a ceremony held under the patronage of London's mayor, Ken Livingston, and former Moroccan tennis champ, Karim Alami.
The initiative, sponsored by the Red Ribbon association and the Pan-African Association against AIDS (OPALS-Morocco), seeks to encourage young people to undergo AIDS tests, say organizers.
Most of young people do not know the symbolism of this international emblem, and we have decided to create this giant red ribbon, they explained.
