Special Evening Event During National TB Conference: Nuestra Casa

The 2010 National TB Conference, "Innovate to Accelerate: On the Move to Eliminate TB," is being held June 22–24, 2010, at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia in Atlanta, Georgia. Conference planners are organizing a special outing for conference participants for the evening of Wednesday, June 23, to view a TB-related exhibit at the CDC Global Health Odyssey Museum. The exhibit, entitled Our Home - Nuestra Casa , is described as “a touring project for tuberculosis advocacy, communication, and social mobilization.” It is scheduled to be on display at CDC from June 14 to September 10, 2010. Below is a brief description of the exhibit from the CDC Global Health Odyssey website:
Our Home - Nuestra Casa is a three-dimensional house that reflects the lives and stories of people affected by tuberculosis (TB), their surroundings, and their messages of reality and hope from the U.S.-Mexico border and other parts of Mexico. The exhibit provides museum visitors with an experiential-learning opportunity by inviting them into the “home” of a person with TB.

Further details on the outing are also included in 2010 National TB Conference information packet.
