Dear Friends of the Indiana-Kenya Partnership aka USAID-AMPATH,

There are several upcoming events and plenty of media coverage involving USAID-AMPATH to advise you about:

· The ground-breaking Open MRS medical record system created by Indiana University and AMPATH was featured on the Public Radio International (PRI) program, “The World.” To listen to the piece, you can click here: Making medical records accessible (4:00)

· Dr. Bob Einterz, along with key Indiana-Moi leaders Drs. Charlie Kelley and Jim Smith, will be presenting an Advanced Leadership Seminar on the Indiana-Moi partnership and the nature of risk-taking. The seminar will be held on IUPUI’s campus this coming Wednesday, November 19th, from 4:30 PM to 6 PM. For more information, see http://www.iupui.edu/~eventsin/cal/?rssid=396083-40

· This upcoming week, from November 17th through 21st on its 5:30 PM newscast, Indianapolis television station WTHR-13 will be presenting a series of stories from their recent visit to Kenya and AMPATH. WTHR producer DeShong Perry, who won a National Association of Black Journalists fellowship to produce the series, spent several days in Eldoret last month, along with anchor Andrea Morehead and photographer Scott Allen, chronicling the program. The resulting stories will be broadcast nightly and also viewable on the station’s website, www.wthr.com

· On December 1, World AIDS Day, AMPATH’s Imani Workshops will be featured in a “Beads of Hope” evening celebration on IUPUI’s campus. See the following display for more information.



It is gratifying that the important work of our Kenyan and U.S. colleagues continues to be widely recognized, and we thank you for all of your support for the program and the people of Kenya.
