And by way of inspiration:

At least year’s International AIDS Conference, several medical students went to raise awareness on the need for additional funding for health care workers in Africa. Students spray-painted messages on white coats, and raised them up during the keynote speakers. As Clinton was later quoted saying, “Those people with the white coats really got my attention – we need to do something about health care workers.”
