Health: Ghana invites students to design AIDS and Tuberculosis stamps

Public Agenda, reports that as part of its corporate responsibility to be involved in campaigns aimed at fighting HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis, Ghana Post Company, has launched newly designed HIV/AIDS and T.B. postal stamps, which will be sewn on the uniforms of school children.

The Managing Director of Ghana Post Company, said the company decided to use the stamp because a stamp, like currency, is a national symbol, which portrays the cultural values of a nation.

Students at all levels of education have been asked to take part in a competition to design the stamps as a tool for the campaign against the diseases.
