Welcome !
Welcome to all non-Dutch speaking
visitors of my site!
You have landed on the website
of 'Aandacht voor Aids', which means 'Focus on Aids'.
'Aandacht voor Aids' is the name of a personal campaign.
With this campaign, I am trying to raise funds in order
to significantly and structurally improve the situation
of Aids- and HIV-infected people an children in Ghana,
Africa.
My name is Cindy Noordermeer.
I am a Dutch dietician and health worker and worked in Ghana as a volunteer
for 2 years. I returned to Holland in May 2005 to start
my Master study International Public Health at the VU
in Amsterdam.
The first half year of my stay,
I have been working in the 'International Health Care
Clinic'. This is a small community hospital in Accra,
the capital of Ghana. The hospital is mainly focused
on treating the poorest people infected with Aids and
HIV.
For the following 7 months, I
worked on a project in Wa (the capital of the Upper
West Region in the North of Ghana), the aim of which
was and is to write and implement a nutritional guideline
for Aids patients.
For the rest of my stay, I was back in Accra in the
clinic again, and worked on several guidelines in de
field of nutrition, treatment, personal hygiene, etc.
If you would like to know more about my projects, or
possibilities for sponsoring, please contact me using
the contact form.
As you can see, my site is for
the most part in Dutch. Unfortunately, I don't have
the time and means to translate my whole site in English.
However, some pages are in English. If you are interested
in my projects, the Aids Clinic or my work in general,
you can follow the links at the top right to the pages
of my site that are written in English.
Use the 'to English home' link
in the column at the right to get back to this page,
so you don't get lost in the Dutch.
I will be happy to answer all
your questions about me, my work or the clinic by email
(in English). My email address is: cindy@aandachtvooraids.nl
. You can also use the mail form by clicking on the
link at the right.
