Post Report
SINDHULI, May 8 - Nepal Red Cross Society Sindhuli branch
has decided to carry out various programmes for the prevention of AIDS, which has been
spreading as an epidemic all over the world.
The programmes will be taken to different schools since
this year through Junior Red Cross Circles and Youth Red Cross Circles where Red Cross
Circles have been formed, Chairperson of the Society Falguni Sharma said.
A one-day symposium of headmasters of secondary and higher

secondary and higher secondary schools could be ensured in AIDS prevention programmes.
Speaking at the symposium Central Instructor Purna Puri
