New York, NY, April 19, 2010 --(PR.com)-- African Services Committee, in collaboration with award-winning photographer, Haik Kocharian, is proud to present Positive Kids 3: Through Their Eyes, a photographic exhibition and cocktail reception benefiting African Services Pediatric HIV programs in Ethiopia.
In partnership with The James Cohan Gallery, African Services Committee will host its third annual “Positive Kids” benefit cocktail party on May 17th, 2010. In the event’s third year, African Services Committee has teamed up with photographer Haik Kocharian to put a face to the widening circle of children and their families who against all odds are now thriving thanks to access to HIV treatment and small business loans from African Services’ Positive Kids events. Attendees will get a raw and inspiring look at the families benefiting from the work of African Services’ through the lens of Kocharian, and through the lens of the children—our “Positive Kids.”
“I would like people to have an opportunity to look through a window with me,” explains Kocharian about the exhibition. “We are showing simple stories of children and their families as they struggle, yet they are looking optimistically toward the future. I hope people will make an emotional connection, and realize that at the core we are all the same, and we all need each other. By reaching out and helping, we are all improving our own lives, and ultimately creating a better world.”
Since 2003, African Services Committee has worked on the frontlines of the global HIV pandemic in Ethiopia. With three community-based HIV clinics in operation, ASC has provided testing and care to over 80,000 people. The success of these events has allowed them to dramatically scale-up Pediatric HIV Programs; providing increased access to HIV testing, prevention, treatment and care to the most vulnerable children living in areas with little or no access to health services.
“We are so honored to be teaming up with such a talented artist, and to present to the world dimensions of our patient families and our work that have never before been so intimately seen,” says Kim Nichols, ASC Co-Executive Director. “The money raised from this benefit will go a long way in enabling us to provide life saving diagnostics, treatment and services to children and families in need.”
