Insights on the Ebola crisis in Sierra Leone from a long time Periclean Scholars partner Dr. Lucy Steinitz
Sierra Leone Up Close and Personal. December12, 2014
Dr. Lucy Steinitz in 2003.
Dr. Lucy Steinitz, co-founder of Catholic AIDS Action in Namibia in 1998, was the first partner with which the Class of 2006 connected back in 2003. She was a the main point of contact between our Pericleans, students, faculty and administration at the University and Namibia and the Polytechnic of Namibia, the US Embassy in Windhoek, and many HIV/AIDS activists and experts that made the Future Leaders Summit on HIV/AIDS in January 2006 such a success (including coverage by CNN-International).
For five years she and I co-taught a summer session online course “The Global Impact of HIV/AIDS” and she remains a wonderful asset to and friend of the program. I am honored to call her a friend and colleague.
The linked diary are Lucy’s reflections from her recent visit to Sierra Leone on a fact-finding mission with Catholic Relief Services.
Her pictures and word shed critical light on many of the questions around the Ebola crisis.
