This year, the NYU chapter of Keep A Child Alive, which provides antiretrovirals to children and families affected by AIDS in Africa, will host events to highlight the effectiveness of treatment. The School of Medicine is displaying "PhotoMosaics" in its building. The project is a large mosaic of 12-by-12-inch photographs of people infected or affected by HIV/AIDS in Malawi taken by Ken Wong. "It is important for people to come see the faces of the people infected and affected by the AIDS pandemic," Wong said. "The project aims to humanize the crisis, so that people here can relate to what is happening there."
