Center for Indigenous Healing Launched... (2)
---------------------------------------------
Dear Osei and All,
I have just replied to you personally but wanted to post here too to
say congratulations and my very best wishes for your every success, and
also to give the REMEDY info (medical and surgical supplies) I men-
tioned yesterday in a posting. The website is at:
http://www.remedyinc.org
and they may be able to help with your request. Also, for everyone, I
have recently received letters from 2 groups in Uganda working with
hundreds of traditional healers there, and we have a KAIPPG volunteer
who is getting a PhD in the uses of traditional medicine to address
HIV/AIDS. I am also in contact with the Coordinator of GrainAfrica,
Daniel Mbinda, who has indicated that the European Union is interested
in investigating and supporting this approach, and there is an American
foundation -- the African Education and Wellness Foundation in New Jer-
sey, which is as well. Finally, the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations
seem receptive to giving grants for this type of work, so it seems that
indigenous knowledge and traditional healing methods are finally get-
ting the focus they deserve. If others are interested in these issues
please be in touch, and perhaps there will be strength in numbers on
grants and support for these activities.
With many thanks and all best wishes,
Janet Feldman
Director, KAIPPG/International
