One Life Revolution

Alright, too many pictures of food at home, now let's take a break. This time around I am going to blog about the one life exhibition that I had gone to with my family.

The exhibition was organized by the organization One Life Revolution, the exhibition mainly is to promote the awareness of HIV disease and also to help the public to understand and accept HIV positive patients. The exhibition used 3 stories of HIV positive children in 3 different countries to help the visitor to understand about their lives and how much suffers and pain they have been through.

The exhibition took place in Bintang Plaza Mall, Miri. hehe....:)



the exhibition, it was surrounded by wooden walls and cameras were not allowed inside the exhibition. so only managed to snap some pics inside.


the exhibition took place for around 3 days. a lot of people visited the exhibition.

each visitor will be given an MP3 and the narrator will narrate the stories of the infected children. Inside the exhibition, it was the real life decoration of the surroundings of the infected children, very real, even the smell was there as well! Then the visitor will go through the stages of the child and the stories were very touching also. Those stories were real life stories.


as there were 3 stories, each visitor will go through different story. for me, I went through the story of an indian girl who was born in HIV infected family. The siblings were all infected but fortunately the girl was not (thus my hand was stamped negative sign). So the girl now is helping in the centre of the HIV positive kids.

well, the other two stories involved children who were infected with HIV positive, thus the sign. :) very real right? there was even a small clinic with a nurse inside the exhibition to stamp your hand. hehe...

and this is the little gift they gave us when we left the exhibition. :)

the exhibition was really meaningful, it's good to bring family members to visit the exhibition and not only you, but your children or siblings will learn a lot as well. :) however I am not sure if One Life Revolution is going to have any exhibition like this or not. :)

Ah Ngao:owh..yea, there might be the risk if the shaving knife accidentally cut your skin. but normally the barber will use new knife or disinfect the knife one i think. :)
