Journey of Hope: Children Affected by HIV/AIDS
Tuesday, 02 Dec 2008 at 7:00 pm – Great Hall, Memorial Union
Journey of Hope presentations allow children affected by HIV/AIDS to speak about their experiences with the disease. Since 1994, the Journey of Hope AIDS Awareness Program has traveled throughout the United States with the goal of increasing HIV awareness, prevention, education and testing. In addition to sharing personal stories, the children recite poetry, sing and perform skits. Their national tour is sponsored by One Heartland, the largest camping and care program for children who experience HIV/AIDS, based in Willow River, Minnesota. The public talk has been scheduled in conjunction with a display of the AIDS quilt December 2 & 3, 2008, in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.Cosponsored By:
- Multicultural Student Programming Advisory Council
- Students for One Heartland
- Committee on Lectures (funded by Student Government)
