Calendar of Events Announcement
World Vision Experience: AIDS – Step into Africa
WHAT: World Vision Experience: AIDS – Step Into Africa is a unique, multimedia, interactive exhibit that allows visitors to step into the lives of actual children affected by HIV and AIDS in the hardest-hit region of the world: Sub-Saharan Africa, where about 25 million people are infected with HIV (2/3 of the world’s total). Visitors walk through a replica of an African village and experience the effects of the pandemic in a real way as they listen to a personal audio track relating the story of one of four real children.
The “World Vision Experience: AIDS” exhibit comes to Whittier, CA, May 30 – June 7. The exhibit visited 75 cities nationwide in 2007/2008, and is scheduled to visit 40 more in 2009. To date, hundreds of thousands of people have visited the exhibit, with more than 150,000 more expected to visit in 2009.
WHO: The exhibit, which is free and open to the public, features a 3,600 square foot replica of an African village. Visitors tour the village, listening on headsets to a personal audio track telling the true stories of four children – Kombo, Babirye, Emmanuel, and Mathabo – whose lives have been affected by AIDS, offering visitors the opportunity to see, hear and experience the devastating effects of AIDS in a very personal way.
WHEN: Free and open to the public Saturday, May 30 – Sunday, June 7. Hours of operation are as follows: Fri and both Saturdays 11am – 9pm; both Sundays 9am – 7pm; and Mon - Thur 10am – 8pm
WHERE: Whittier Area Community Church
8175 Villaverde Drive
Whittier, CA 90605
Exhibit information can be found at www.worldvisionexperience.org
Background:
A prototype exhibit was launched in fall 2005, and hundreds of thousands of visitors have gone through the exhibit in cities all across the United States. The prototype Experience was featured at the 2006 Global AIDS Conference in Toronto and displayed in New York’s Grand Central terminal in the summer of 2006. The overwhelming response to the prototype exhibit led World Vision to commission the new exhibits and launch the upcoming national tour.
World Vision is a Christian relief and development organization dedicated to helping children and their communities worldwide reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty. World Vision serves the world’s poor regardless of a person’s religion, race, ethnicity, or gender. For more information, visit www.worldvision.org.
Thank you for sharing this. It sounds like a very moving and educational event.
I wish you the best,
Mickie
