Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City
Join Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) at Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City, a free, interactive, awareness-raising exhibit on tour in Canada this fall.

The exhibit is an outdoor reconstruction of an actual refugee camp, where experienced MSF staff (doctors, nurses, logisticians) guide visitors through a 40 to 60 minute interactive tour explaining the crucial elements for survival in a refugee crisis.

St. John’s: Bannerman Park, September 8-11, 2011

Starved for Attention Interactive Exhibition
New York, NY
This fall, a new Starved for Attention exhibit will recreate a Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) field hospital specializing in the treatment of malnourished children, just like those used by the organization in malnutrition "hotspots" such as Niger, Burkina Faso, India, and elsewhere.
MSF medical staff and aid workers—who have worked in malnutrition projects in the field–will guide visitors through a simulated clinic and describe how MSF works to treat and prevent malnutrition. Visitors will then be able to watch some of the Starved for Attention films, short multimedia documentaries about global malnutrition, and view stunning photographs from the series’ award-winning VII Photo Agency photojournalists.
Starved for Attention will visit the following cities and parks on the East Coast this fall:
Visitors will also be able to sign a petition demanding that policymakers improve the nutritional quality of U.S. food aid sent to young children overseas. “Our hope is that visitors will not only learn about the underlying causes of malnutrition, but that they will join us in the fight against it – a fight that can be won,” says Sophie Delaunay, Executive Director of Doctors Without Borders in the U.S. “The U.S. is the world’s biggest food aid donor, so visitors to the exhibit have an opportunity to make a difference.”

Treat AIDS: Stop the Virus
Join MSF in the Streets & Online to Demand Access to Treatment for Millions in Need
New York, NY
Please join Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in the streets of New York City to demand that World Leaders keep their promise to treat AIDS and stop the virus.
June 8th is the first day of the United Nations High Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS. World Leaders will gather to announce their commitments to fight global AIDS.
Hanging in the balance will be the lives of the 10 million people who urgently need treatment, at a time when the latest science tells us that treating HIV not only saves lives, but also dramatically reduces—by 96 percent—transmission of the virus from one person to another.
If you can't join the rally in person, join us online:

At a Crossroads: AIDS Treatment Under Threat at a Time of Immense Promise
LIVE Online Webcast
Lesotho 2006 © Wayne Conradie
Join MSF staff for the latest field update on the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa.
More than six million people are alive today thanks to an unprecedented global effort to provide HIV/AIDS treatment in developing countries. A decade on, the science leaves no doubt that providing HIV/AIDS treatment makes medical, moral, and economic sense: there have been fewer deaths, fewer people becoming sick from infections such as tuberculosis (TB), and most promising, there is evidence that shows people on HIV/AIDS treatment are nine times less likely to pass the virus on to others. Despite this evidence, the global fight against HIV/AIDS has never faced more of a threat.
During this live webcast, MSF staff will give you an insider’s look at how threats to funding come just at the moment that new technology, innovations, treatment models, and “game changers,” have the potential to possibly break the back of the epidemic by getting ahead of the wave of new infections. Participants will have a chance to ask* about the promising innovations in HIV/AIDS treatment and what’s at stake if funding cuts for HIV/AIDS treatment continue.
*Questions may be submitted during the event
through a live chat feature on the broadcast website.
The live panel discussion will feature:
-
Dr. Gilles van Cutsem, Medical Coordinator, Lesotho and South Africa, who has worked with MSF for the past decade in HIV and TB programs
-
Sharonann Lynch, HIV policy advisor for MSF, who has worked extensively on issues related to access to medicines, and spent several years working in HIV and TB projects in South Africa and Lesotho.
