Exhibition of photography to mark World AIDS Day
 Just a quickie - if you're in or near Oxford this week, there's a great photo exhibition from photographers all over Europe, professional and amateur, on the theme of AIDS and Hope. The One Vision Exhibition will be staged in the Ashmolean Cafe, Oxford on Wednesday 30 November, the eve of World AIDS Day. Tickets are £2.50 and there will be a talk about AIDS orphans and an auction of photographs and other items, sponsored by Bonhams. All profits will go towards Cecily's Fund and its work in Zambia.
And here's a bit of background information from the people at Cecily's Fund: "Zambia is one of the worst-hit countries in the world by AIDS. Largely as a result of the pandemic, the life expectancy in the country is the world's lowest- a mere 33 years.
"It is not only those who are infected who have suffered. The pandemic has left a generation of orphans in its wake, many of whom can not access their basic rights. Cecily's Fund aims to enable 10,000 of these children to go to school. We focus on education because we believe it is crucial in ensuring these children can have a better future and can learn to avoid AIDS themselves."
