A trip to Africa

Last night we took a trip to Africa via the World Vision AIDS exhibit being presented at a local church. The free exhibit is really well done. Each visitor gets a headset with an ipod shuffle that has the story of one of four children from Africa whose lives have been affected by AIDS. The story is told as if you are the child in the story. I was a young boy named Emmanuel. The actual child tells part of the story and part is narrated. As you go through the exhibit, the audio tour leads you through a maze of rooms, each a setting for part of the story. At one point you end up in a clinic. The clinician gestures for you to place your hand on the counter and then stamps your hand with either a red + or a black -, indicating the your HIV diagnosis. The exhibit is traveling like a concert tour throughout the country. Check it out...you should go when it comes to your city.
