Welcome to World Vision Seattle & Tacoma

Today, like every day, 6000 children will lose a parent to AIDS. Yet there is hope. World Vision offers meaningful ways right here in the Puget Sound for you to make a difference for children in need.

Come and visit the The World Vision Experience: AIDS, a 2,500-square-foot interactive exhibit where visitors step into Africa and experience life as a child affected by AIDS. The Experience takes the participant on a deeply personal journey into the life of a young person who has lost one or both parents to AIDS. It features a stirring audio tour combined with captivating photography that will transport the viewer into the heart of Africa. It is free and open to the public. The exhibit will be open daily from 10 am to 6 pm. Parental discretion is advised for children under the age of 12 because of the sensitivity of the material.

Upcoming local tour dates:

April 18-21, 2008	Life Center Church 1717 S Union Avenue, Tacoma, WA 98405
April 26-28, 2008	Puyallup Nazarene Church 1026 7th Ave SW, Puyallup, WA 98371
