Photos from last night’s Positive Kids 3 event

Posted by doteditions on May 18, 2010

Last night we attended African Services Committee’s celebration of Positive Kids 3, their annual benefit to raise money for their AIDS clinics in Ethiopia. It was hosted by the  James Cohan Gallery, and  both the Ethiopian and Armenian Representatives to the UN were in attendance.  Haik Kocharian’s photography looked amazing, the spread was great, there was an Ethiopian musician who played wonderful music, and the attendance was outstanding. We hope there were many prints sold and money raised to benefit the work that African Services Committee is doing in Ethiopia to treat individuals who are HIV positive.

An Ethiopian musician provided music.
