King Edward Memorial Hospital Celebrates IGAD 2011

I was so excited to see the pink t-shirts at King Edward Memorial Hospital. I had gone to top off the brochures at the hospital and spotted one of the staff walking past in the GAIN t-shirts in celebration of IGAD. I just couldn’t resist the opportunity to capture the moment and the staff were very happy to gather together for this pic.

Thanks so much for helping to spread the word and promote Gynae awareness everyone.

Canberra All Set To Celebrate IGAD 2011

IGAD Canberra

 

It is with great delight that we received information from Margaret Kalms about an event she has organised in Canberra.  Professor Frank Bowden is the special guest speaker.  Professor Bowden is the Professor of Medicine at the ANU Medical School and Director of Canberra Sexual Health Centre.

Margaret has organised a cocktail party where all will be spellbound by Belly Dancers.

There is a photography exhibition featuring Margaret’s artwork and is being hosted by the Sexual Health and Family Planning ACT.

The event starts at 7:30pm – 10:00pm and there is also the exhibition running from 12-23 September and open from 9:00am – 5:00pm.

Margaret explores intimate, personal and sensitive issues in emotional and philosophically symbolic terms.  Her photographs are confronting, dramatic and surprising, but they are also beautiful and are designed to enhance women’s perception of themselves overcoming significant prejudices and taboos.

Margaret’s art is very suitable to promote IGAD fulfilling one of the aims of IGAD.  “To share knowledge and experiences with the community to remove cultural and sexual taboos and build confidence within oneself”.  Margaret Kalms is inspired by the underlying confidences that God created women and that all parts of the body are good.
