Backing the fight against HIV/AIDS

The Coastline Pilot went to Laguna Beach High School and asked a class creating posters to promote awareness for World AIDS Day the question: “Why do you feel it’s important to help the AIDS cause?”

“It’s important to show people living with AIDS that we care, and it helps spread knowledge about it.”

Ali Terwilliger, 15

“It’s important people know it’s a problem and it can be stopped. It also helps to make people feel more comfortable with the subject.”

Nicola Bernard, 16

“It’s important so that average people know there is AIDS, and it’s not as bad as people think, so they can overcome it.”

Isabelle Shaw, 15

“It’s important to spread awareness on the issue while maintaining a hopeful and encouraging outlook.”

Natalie Houalla, 17

“We are spreading the message to help fight AIDS and letting people know to be wary of it.”

Colin Peterson, 15

“You have to remind people AIDS is going on, and have to remind them it’s a bad situation to help fight it.”

Ben Craebel, 16
