One of the most moving and inspirational events I have ever attended. It is not a fund raiser. It is the one time a year when the survivors who are experiencing healing from sexual assault through the Healing Center (which is part of Aurora Sinai) share using song, poetry, dance, etc. You can drop in for a short time, or stay till the end. It is not really a social event. You do not mingle. Last year I just sat alone in the back of the audience and was silently overwhelmed by the survivors stories, and the hope they have found at the Healing Center. You can drop in at any time and catch as many performances as you like. Each one lasts just a few moments.
I guarantee it will change you. And your silent presence would mean the world to the Aurora caregivers who work there, and the survivors who heal there.
Bring family and friends. Doors open at 5:00.
Soon thereafter we will have a 45 min. play which was written by a survivor and will be performed by a theater group of youth from Chicago.
After the play we will transition into the survivor speak out and sharing of their healing journeys.
Event ends at 8 pm.
-Food will be available. It is a pot luck (because we could not find a food sponsor) but you don't have to bring any food. There will be plenty. Parking available on the street.

Collaboration and Partnership in Global Health: Success and Challenges of the World Health Organization
In the United States, where health disparities and inequities also exist, schools and universities strive to create “global citizens” by challenging their students to think critically of their role in their local communities and beyond their borders. What can university students and professors do to address the menacing inequities/injustices in health and well-being pervasive around the world today? What are some of the important lessons learned from the development, implementation and sustainability of global health programs around the world by United Nations Organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO)? Should there be a paradigm shift in which wealthy countries embrace the transference of health knowledge to poor nations as bi-directional and co-development, with poor and wealthy nations learning from the other? Come join us for an exciting discussion and celebrate World Health Day in the UWM College of Nursing.
World Health Day is celebrated in April each year to mark the founding of the World Health Organization. For information on the structure and functions of WHO, including the current World Health Report “Health Systems Financing; The Path to Universal Coverage,” go to: http://www.who.int/en/. This forum will be an interactive forum targeting students, faculty, staff, and community members. Readings and suggested activities can be provided in advance, upon request, for students who wish to further explore vital global health issues.
