An evening with Ugandan Canon Gideon Byamugisha

Humble, yet courageous, Gideon was the first churchman to publicly declare his HIV+ status. Canon Gideon now has a worldwide ministry in drawing attention to the plight of AIDS sufferers and the work being done in their midst to bring them hope. Canon Gideon's ''Ambassadors of Life'' evening will inspire and challenge you with his unique blend of humour and pathos. Hear about innovative new strategies

Canon Gideon was a keynote speaker at the ICMDA world congress in Sydney 2006, and again at the ICMDA Eurasia Regional Conference in Schladming Austria in September 2008. He is supported through HealthServe Australia in the ICMDA HIV Initiative project. The Kilimanjaro Rehabilitation project will also be featured - where of those adults admitted with neurological problems such as stroke, over 20% are HIV positive.
