The Teresa Group's Envisioning the Future Symposium took place at the MaRS Centre, 101 College Street, Toronto, Canada on August 11th and 12th, 2006. It provided an international forum for discussion of best practices and emerging issues related to this population of children.

Prevention of mother to child transmission
Community support for orphans and vulnerable children
Medical care, education, children’s rights
Psychosocial issues – early childhood, reducing stigma
Children’s participation
Keynote Speaker: Stephen Lewis (United Nations Special Envoy on AIDS in Africa)
The Envisioning the Future Symposium was of particular
interest to community organizations, researchers, health

development of an ongoing international network or coalition
of organizations and individuals working in this field.
