Last Wednesday, my course mates and I went to this One Life Revolution Exhibition at Dream Centre. Wow, it was so awesome! Walking through the real life of the suffering children who have HIV is an experience that I'll never forget!
Three true story about three children from Malaysia, India and Cambodia who went through a hard and tough time in their life. This exhibition will give you an opportunity to walk through their life and experience what they went through as a HIV positive carrier. Only one of these three children are HIV negative but the whole family is HIV positive!

"Exposure to their suffering and know that in midst of their suffering, they still need work for the family. They are not suppose to live like that but they have to..." - Shakilah

"When I think of HIV and people with it, I always remember Magic Johnson quote 'My sickness is not the ending of everything but is the beginning for me to do good things in life', from there I believe, we shall not judge people with HIV but help them to do good things too in life." - Reza

"The One Life Revolution Campaign was a wonderful experience. It will open up many people's perception on how they discriminate this unfortunate people. This HIV infected people need to be loved and given support always. It is something which this people will cherish and value our support. I always have a soft spot for this unfortunate people but it has grew even more now. It was a wonderful experience and should create awareness for people who are suffering with other diseases." - Jothi
"ONE Life Revolution - its one of the many exhibitions that I went with much hope and anticipation but my hope has not became any less. I went there lunch hour and manage to see the kid from India who suffered from HIV+. The interior of the path was made to look like in in India, so that u get the feel of being there. I was moved emotionally with the situation and the narration. I have been to India in 2002. I have seen the slump area, i went there to give away food to the poor and needy. I felt what I felt there. The dust, dirt, the honking, the haggard looking people. In the evening, I went again . This time the story of the Cambodian kid. My feet have not touched Cambodia as I only have to Laos. This story again tickled the part that all human should feel. Care for other. Feel what others feels. After the exhibition I pledge to sponsor 1 kid for a year with the World Vision. I manage to speak to Ayn Pereira - Project Manager , One Life Revolution. The tag line in the exhibition was 'You have one life, do something.'. I have dedicated my 17 years of my life to MSR - the Malaysian Society of Radiographers. I merely fulfilled my existence. I am very much interested in World Peace cos we have only One World. Lets appreciate it. I have to Thanks my fellow friend Mr Tim Roy for showing me the invitation on ONE Life Revolution" - MSR Secretary, Packya Narayanan Dassan, MALAYSIAN SOCIETY OF RADIOGRAPHER
