ONE LIFE, DO SOMETHING
God has given each and everyone of us one life...the big question is, are we using our lives for the betterment of His kingdom. That's what 3 of us were thinking when we were involved in the just concluded One Life Revolution (OLR) Exhibition organised by World Vision Malaysia. It was a great experience for me, Jinny and Simon. The whole OLR exhibition is about giving awareness to the public about HIV/AIDS. Actually it is to let the public walk in the shoes of a HIV infected patient. The whole exhibition also teaches the public about the stigma that HIV patients faced. One of the sayings on the wall was 'HIV kills the body, Discrimination kills the soul'. How many of us are willing to sit and talk with another person who has HIV? If we do, how many of us are willing to treat him/her like any other person that we meet?
The OLR Exhibition was held in Gurney Plaza from the 12th - 14th of August 2008. The next exhibition will be held in Kuantan in October before going round to Johore and ending in Kuala Lumpur in December. This exhibition is not your normal exhibition that you would usually go but it's an exhibition with a difference. Participants are invited to go on a journey as a HIV infected patient and listen to their story. The exhibition runs heavily on donation and also volunteers. I'm glad to be able to volunteer in their Penang run. Actually it touched me so much that I volunteered myself for the Kuantan run and also KL run. So if you are nearby those places, go and see for yourself.
