WHO: Both Trinity United Presbyterian and The Crossing Church, in partnership with other local churches, are hosting the "World Vision Experience: AIDS" exhibit, which is slated to visit 40 cities during its national tour in 2009. The exhibit has already visited 75 cities during 2007/2008. The public is invited to go through the free, multimedia, interactive exhibit and become one of the over 150,000 people who have been through the exhibit. Well over 150,000 more people are expected to visit the exhibit during the 2009 tour.
WHAT: The "World Vision Experience: AIDS" exhibit is a unique, multi-media, interactive exhibit that allows Americans 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 a child. Visitors to Trinity will hear the story of one of four children - Kombo, Babirye, Emmanuel, and Mathabo. Visitors to The Crossing will hear the story of one of three children - Olivia, Beatrice, and Stephen.
WHEN: The free exhibits will be open to the public at the following locations:
