Teaching the children shunned due to HIV

Former hospital director started school to cater for infected children

Linfen Red Ribbon School in Shanxi province is the only one of its kind in China - a facility providing education to children who are living with HIV.

It began in 2004, as an informal classroom in a vacant ward of Linfen Third People's Hospital with Guo Xiaoping, a doctor and the hospital's director, at its helm.
