*Asia Vision Foundation* Benefit Reception
07/28/2009 - By the Centurion

*Asia Vision Foundation* Benefit Reception

Best-Selling Author of ‘Slave Hunter’ Aaron Cohen Speaks at Manhattan Benefit Featuring New Portrait by Shepard Fairey.

Artists, actors, activists, business leaders, and others who share a vision to help the people of Asia attended a benefit reception Tuesday July 28 at the Centurion, 33 W. 56th St. New York.*

The event, hosted by the *Asia Vision Foundation*, highlighted the work of prominent human trafficking opponent Aaron Cohen, whose new book “Slave Hunter” has just been released. To support the work of Mr. Cohen and others helping the Burmese people, Shepard Fairey, the artist famed for his “HOPE” portrait of Obama, generously donated two signed prints of his yet-to-be-unveiled portrait of Burmese leader and Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi to be displayed at the event.

Cohen is a human rights activist who has established a modern-day Jubilee movement to free slaves and forgive debts around the world. He was recently named by the World War II Memorial Foundation, the Immortal Chaplains, as the recipient of the 2008 Prize for Humanity for “risking all to save others”, and he was honored with a US Congressional Certificate of Merit for his public service.

Also featured during the reception was the Internet Freedom Consortium, a group of internet companies providing uncensored, secure web access to millions of users in Iran and China, as well as Asia Catalyst, an NGO that provides training and assistance to grassroots groups in Asia working for economic and social rights.
