2023 Meetings              All Welcome - bring a friend

Wednesday January 18, 2023
Program:

Dr. Asa Ahimbisibwe – from Uganda will speak of the importance of education, health care and gender inequality. His book, HOPEFUL, is on sale at Cambridge Hospital ($10 of proceeds to go to the women’s and children’s department).

Hopeful
“Hopeful” was written by Dr. Asa Ahimbisibwe, CMH Obstetrician to honour his parents who – in his words – had reckless hope in the power of education and to put a spotlight on the importance of providing education to girls in developing countries. Dr. Ahimbisibwe has set a goal of raising $10,000 for CMHF through his book proceeds.
Dr. Asa Ahimbisibwe could have easily not become a doctor. Growing up in Uganda, Africa, the young professional always had the world pushing against him, but his desire to obtain an education persisted until he found success.
Even though his dream of becoming a medical professional came true, his female family members have not been as fortunate due to the lack of support for women’s health and education in developing countries.
Dr. Ahimbisibwe recently published Hopeful, a book about the challenges of the many children growing up in developing countries who yearn to have an education. Hopeful is an account of
Dr. Ahimbisibwe and his cousin who, born in disadvantaged villages in Uganda, embark on the uphill task of changing their lives, but end up in completely different places.
