The Multiple Emmy-nominated and Golden Globe-nominated actress and dedicated AIDS activist Gloria Reuben is joining forces with Pamela W. Barnes, President and CEO of the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, for a three-day tour of some of the Foundations sites in South Africa this August.Gloria Reuben and Barns will be touring locations in and around Johannesburg, South Africa, from August 13-16. Some of the places they’ll be visiting are Alexandra University Clinic in Alexandra Township and the George Mukhari Hospital in Pretoria, which have both been vital sites in implementing the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation’s prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) programs and services in and around the Johannesburg region.
