Nelson Mandela to host "46664: The Message" Evening Event
---------------------------------------------------------

Leadership Program- XV International AIDS Conference 2004

July 5, 2004

The Nelson Mandela Foundation in cooperation with the new Lead-
ership Program will host "46664 ­ The Message", an evening ses-
sion on Thursday, July 15, 2004 at 20:00 at the Impact Center.
Nelson Mandela himself will give a short message after the pres-
entation and the video collage of his foundation’s HIV/AIDS
work. 46664’s ambassadors will also be present and give short
messages for those in attendance.

In November 2003, Nelson Mandela launched his worldwide, music-
led campaign, "46664", to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS in Af-
rica. The launch was marked by a world-class concert in Cape
Town, South Africa. Famous vocalists and rock stars such as
Bono, Beyonce, and Queen joined in supporting this campaign, ei-
ther by performing or attending the concert.

In keeping with his retirement announcement ­ Mr Mandela will
only participate in this event and the closing ceremony during
his visit to Bangkok. Don’t miss this special opportunity to
hear from one of the world’s greatest leaders and learn from his
experience. Renew your commitment to the HIV/AIDS struggle and
be inspired by what others have accomplished.

"46664 - The Message" will take place in Session Room A from
20:00 ­ 21:30 on Thursday, July 15, 2004 at the International
AIDS Conference in Bangkok.
