The International Health Organization (IHO) at Columbia University
is writing to invite you to a benefit for West Africans with AIDS:
the second annual "Une Fete Africaine." The event is entirely
student-run and designed to promote advocacy and action against
AIDS. If you feel, as we at IHO do, that the current level of
response to the global HIV/AIDS pandemic is both foolish and
immoral, please read on.
Please join us on Friday, January 31st from 6:30-10:00 PM in Bard
Hall (169th St. and Haven Ave) on the Columbia Presbyterian campus
for a West African dinner, music, dancing and talks by experts on
the topic of HIV and AIDS. This evening benefit will raise money
to support Club Des Amis, a non-profit HIV/AIDS support group in
the Ivory Coast.
The featured speakers are:
Donal G. McNeil, Jr., reporter for the New York Times whose writing
on HIV/AIDS in Africa have won him journalistic awards. His talk is
entitled, "Let Them Die: America's Policy Toward Disease in Africa."
and...
Dr. Joia Mukherjee, an infectious disease doctor at Harvard Medical
School and the medical director for Partners In Health, a non-
profit running a unique HIV treatment program in the Central
Plateau of Haiti. Her talk is entitled, "Lessons from Haiti: The
Politics and Practice of Delivering Antiretrovirals in Poor
Countries."
Interested? Take a look at our Press Release, which contains more
detailed information about the event:
