CHD Africa launches with powerful film screening and historic art auction
CHD Africa launches with vision, speakers, a film screening and a historic art auction
The African Chapter of Children’s Health Defence launches Saturday 30 July 2022, with an array of African and international contributors, a film screening about medical racism, and a historic art auction announcement.
The CHD Africa chapter will share its vision and objectives, while launching a fundraising auction featuring the work of multiple award winning artist Dr Nanda Soobben. Dr Soobben painted a timeless watercolour of the historic meeting between Chief Albert Luthuli and Robert F Kennedy, while he was in South Africa in 1966.
Contributors at the launch include Dr Ellapen Robert Rapiti, Dr Eva Mugisa, Dr Jackie Stone, and Dr Herman Edeling. These speakers also support the African Sovereignty Coalition (ASC); which Children’s Health Defense is a friend of. The ASC launched in May with a screening of a CHD produced film Infertility – A Diabolical Agenda.
Dr Sakhiwo Yako, a doctor and royal indigenous leader in South Africa shared these words of support ahead of the event. “I thank Children’s Health Defence for its role in health advocacy. I fully support CHD Africa in its mission. Let us work together for truth, health and freedom.”
The must watch film that will be screened at the launch of CHD Africa is Medical Racism: The New Apartheid. This 2021 film is co-produced by Children’s Health Defense. Joining the event will be the film’s co-producer Curtis Cost, who will answer live audience questions.
Acting executive director and chapter coordinator Shabnam Palesa Mohamed “The launch of Children’s Health Defense Africa is a unique pivotal moment in strengthening Africa’s health freedom movement. CHD Africa looks forward to working with partners across the continent to defend health freedom and to protect our children. It takes a village to raise a child. Ubuntu will help us achieve that vision”
Karen McDonough, CHD chapter manager said “The infant mortality rate in Africa is approximately eight times higher than North America. These statistics emphasize the ongoing need for advocacy, education, and legal action on a continent rife with pharmaceutical exploitation and W.H.O. extortion. We enthusiastically and proudly announce our newest international chapter, Children’s Health Defense-Africa”.
