Volunteers needed!!

Dear people,

World Vision, a global Christian aid and advocacy organization, is organizing a learning experience simply entitled "One Life Revolution", for the first time ever in Malaysia. They have done this elsewhere, and Malaysia is the 10th country in the world to do this.

One Life Revolution is a experiential learning encounter, in which the participant will be taken through a "maze", reliving the experiences of a person suffering from HIV. The experience is multi-sensory.

The first location to host this in Malaysia, is Monash University (viva la Monash!!), from 5-7 March 2008.

They need volunteers desperately. And sad to say, Christians have been slow to respond. World Vision (although they are remaining faith-neutral in this country) would rather have Christian volunteers so that responses to visitors would be more likely Christian in values, rather than merely pragmatic.

If you are able to spare 5 hours on any of those 3 days, please reply me ASAP. The training for the volunteers is happening tomorrow (23rd), at Monash.


(BTW, the group most affected by HIV in Malaysia, is the majority people. Here is an opportunity to be a Samaritan of sorts.)

*Ok peeps, I will clarify with Pastor Mike and see if we can serve for 1 or 2 days by shifts... Cause I know most of us are having classes on those days but if we can serve 1 day for 5 hours I think I'll be going... I just want a show of hands to see how many of you are interested...*
