The Walvis Bay Wellness Centre has officially been opened on World AIDS day 2008! Now sitting at Johannesburg airport, I am going back to Amsterdam today; I cannot believe how fast time went in the last few weeks… I can now look backwards, without any regrets, being very sad though, Namibia is a wonderful country! So many things have happened, the clinic has been successfully launched and so many other activities have taken place…

My assignment in Namibia is going on, it’s been now a bit more than four weeks and the project has been evolving a lot, satisfying changes, it’s such a world and such a task to work in the HIV/AIDS world and to realize how people try to solve this problem. The Wellness Center in Walvis Bay will be launched on the first of December, and still a lot to achieve but motivation is there and will be there thanks to people’s help and support as well as various other impressive initiatives around AIDS prevention.

I arrived in Namibia a week ago and it’s been quite hectic to start up on the assignment. After a quiet and sightseeing week-end, I met a lot of key people who will help us out to raise funds locally. So many people are very enthusiastic about the project which really motivates me to do my best and get the wellness center running properly!
