NEW YORK, 6 August 2008 -- As
the eyes of the world turn
towards China for the 2008
Beijing Summer Olympic Games,
UNICEF is taking the
opportunity to focus attention
on one of the country's most
marginalized groups --
children affected by AIDS.

On 9 August more than 80
children affected by AIDS will
be greeted by Olympic athletes
and high-level government
officials in the Great Hall of
the People. The children are
from seven provinces and have
either lost parents to AIDS,
or live with parents who are
infected.

The meeting is part of a
series of events that will
also feature actor and first
UNICEF China AIDS Ambassador
Pu Cunxin and gymnast Lou Yun,
who won Olympic gold in
1984.
