The Red Ribbon Guy
This from The National, Column 1:
“We remember Richard Jones, a young VSO from the UK, who was working in Madang last year. Richard inspired hundreds of school children attending local schools to make thousands of red ribbons for World AIDS Day. It was a touching and effective gesture and one that should be copied by every school in the country.”
Good on ya, Rich!
