The
island of Aruba has become the latest Caribbean territory to
launch the ‘Faces’ campaign.
The campaign was
launched in February, during the Carnival period, when many
do not think about their health.
A television spot is shown four times a day on local channels
and a radio spot is also broadcast. The Aruba Branch of the Netherlands
Red Cross is also using tee-shirts, posters, the newspapers and
a website to promote the campaign.
Public reaction has been positive and the local Benneton store
has asked permission to hang the Faces tee-shirts in their shop
window.
The campaign has also proven to be an excellent tool to draw
positive attention on the local Red Cross.
