One of the most effective methods of making the Red Cross and the Geneva Conventions known is action at school level. It was for that reason that the ICRC undertook to distribute widely a textbook entitled The Red Cross and My Country (in English and French) which the International Review has mentioned in several previous issues. This large scale information campaign was started in Africa in the autumn of 1967. Since then many governments have agreed to the distribution of the manual in their schools. At present there are 230,000 copies—published and donated to the relevant authorities by the ICRC—in use in primary schools in twenty-one African States.
