Send Aids to 3669

This campaign from Terres des Hommes was running last couple of weeks in the Netherlands. In a aggressive hyperventilating MTV style Terres des Hommes ask viewers to send a sms in order to help Aids/HIV orphans in East Africa.
“Adopt the abandoned Aids Orphan. SMS Aids to 3669.”

A SMS to Terres des Hommes costs €1,50, €0,99 of it is for the Aids orphan project. After donating a animated wallpaper was sent in return showing a thank-you-kiss from the Aids orphan.
With this confrontating campaign Terres des Hommes tries to reach the young audience in the age of 15 - 25. It looks funny at first sight but this ringtone look-a-like psa isn’t after all.

Another part of the campaign is the dedicated page on the Dutch social network Hyves: mercylife.hyves.nl.

Thanks Antoinette from Leylines for sending.
