The Department of Health (DOH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) are working together to raise HIV awareness. In line with this, Adamson University – Senior High School Red Cross Youth Council is united in the global fight against HIV/AIDS.

It was a truly fulfilling experience, offering not only a deeper understanding of one’s role as an adviser, but also the opportunity to connect with fellow advisers.

They were able to gain numerous insights and partake in the seminar. Certainly, it nurtured and motivated them to be better leaders and be of service to everyone.
