City councillors and other VIPs will help to open the exhibit which will be on display from September 17th - October 4th . The exhibit is free and open to the public.

Visitors to the exhibit will learn about the impact of HIV and AIDS by experiencing the life of one of four African children through captivating audio, authentic sets and powerful photography. The One Life Experience moves visitors beyond the AIDS statistics to gain an understanding of why the pandemic is the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time.
