Step into Africa


I am soooooo excited about my volunteer position at church. For the HIV/AIDS Global Summit they've asked me to be in charge of the World Vision AIDS tent.

Basically, you walk into this tent (unlike you've ever seen) that resembles what an African village would look like. Then, you assume the role of an African child's identity. The hypothetical role you take will lead you down the path throughout the exhibit, which tells of the various hardships - such as rape, war and disease - that an African child may face.
At the grim health clinic inside the tent, you receive results in the form of a bold red hand stamp that indicates either positive or negative for HIV.

Here are the times you can go...at Saddleback Church:

Saturday, November 24 3:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.

Sunday, November 25 10:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.
