Home-Based Care Ministry by Judy Mathers Pdf

We live in a broken world with broken people. Often it is easy to ignore the needs of the people around us. But what would God want us to do? In His ministry here on earth, Jesus reached out to the most hurt, most abused, and most reviled members of His community. He healed not only their bodies but their spirits. Should we do any less? The Seventh-day Adventist Church has a unique opportunity to serve the hurting in their community through a Home-Based Care ministry. With our mission to love, serve, and teach, and with the numerous church resources already available, we can do what many others cannot—be the safe haven of health and healing that God intends His church to be. While this book focuses on ministry to individuals and their families dealing with HIV and AIDS, the principles found here can be applied to anyone with a terminal illness who finds himself/herself on the other side of accepted society. It shows us that instead of being critical, we should accept where people and their choices have led them, doing our best to minister with the love and care of Jesus.

Making and Unmaking Public Health in Africa by Ruth J. Prince,Rebecca Marsland Pdf

Africa has emerged as a prime arena of global health interventions that focus on particular diseases and health emergencies. These are framed increasingly in terms of international concerns about security, human rights, and humanitarian crisis. This presents a stark contrast to the 1960s and ‘70s, when many newly independent African governments pursued the vision of public health “for all,” of comprehensive health care services directed by the state with support from foreign donors. These initiatives often failed, undermined by international politics, structural adjustment, and neoliberal policies, and by African states themselves. Yet their traces remain in contemporary expectations of and yearnings for a more robust public health. This volume explores how medical professionals and patients, government officials, and ordinary citizens approach questions of public health as they navigate contemporary landscapes of NGOs and transnational projects, faltering state services, and expanding privatization. Its contributors analyze the relations between the public and the private providers of public health, from the state to new global biopolitical formations of political institutions, markets, human populations, and health. Tensions and ambiguities animate these complex relationships, suggesting that the question of what public health actually is in Africa cannot be taken for granted. Offering historical and ethnographic analyses, the volume develops an anthropology of public health in Africa. Contributors:Hannah Brown, P. Wenzel Geissler, Murray Last, Rebecca Marsland, Lotte Meinert, Benson A. Mulemi, Ruth J. Prince, Noémi Tousignant, and Susan Reynolds Whyte

Caregivers for Persons Living with HIV/AIDS in Kenya by Charnetta Gadling-Cole Pdf

Most of the HIV/AIDS caregivers in Kenya live in various parts of the country and share many of the trials and tribulations associated with providing care to someone suffering from a terminal illness. Some have been forced into the role due to the death of their love one, while others may have voluntarily taken on the responsibility on a firm belief that the care they provide will make a difference. The experiences shared in this book capture some of day-to-day political, social, economic, cultural challenges and obstacles encountered by the HIV/AIDS caregivers in Nairobi, Kenya. Caregiver challenges are reviewed and recommendations are offered on the way forward. It also explores the role of the church and international social work in addressing international issues.

World Suffering and Quality of Life by Ronald E. Anderson Pdf

This is the first book tackling the topic of world suffering. It compiles in one place the ideas, perspectives, and findings of researchers from around the world who pioneered research-based understanding of human suffering. Some chapters use the paradigm of ‘quality of life’ to explore ways to enhance knowledge on suffering. Other chapters show how concepts and knowledge from suffering research can benefit studies on quality of life. By bringing together in one volume, ideas and research experience from the best minds and leading researchers in the fields of pain, suffering, poverty, deprivation, disability and quality of life (including well-being and happiness), this volume advances social science solutions to a number of major threads of research, most notably suffering. As a whole, the volume advances the fields of suffering and deprivation by suggesting a working typology of suffering and by pointing out the major paradigms for relief of suffering, such as humanitarianism, human rights, caring, and healing. This volume provides a wealth of insights about the interaction between suffering and quality of life, the most up-to-date characterization of worldwide suffering, and a grasp of the implications of these data for local and global policy on health and social well-being.

Are Orphan Care Ministries Really Helping? by Musa Okolo Pdf

Sponsorship organisations sincerely set out to help orphans in Africa and other developing countries out of their misery and hopelessness by providing them with a family environment in which they can experience love and hope. To accomplish this, a sponsorship organisation often works with a like-minded partner organisation that executes its vision and objectives. Unfortunately, this is usually plagued by many complex problems that, if not resolved, can become insurmountable. In this book, the author draws on his many years of experience in working for orphans in Africa to identify difficulties that seem to be inherent in such an endeavour. He has determined that these problems stem from three specific areas: the orphans themselves, the partner organisation, and the sponsor organisation. Each of these has its own unique challenges; and when these unique challenges interact, they become so complicated that, if their root causes are not isolated and resolved, the ministry may eventually collapse. The telltale signs of such an eventuality are perceptible--but only to the discerning mind. Musa Okolo identifies and offers practical solutions to these challenges, which will enable orphan care ministries to understand and deal with the complex issues involved and hence achieve their objectives and fulfil their vision.

Pediatric Palliative Care: Global Perspectives by Caprice Knapp,Vanessa Madden,Susan Fowler-Kerry Pdf

The first of its kind, this book describes pediatric palliative care in more than 23 countries. Each region in the world is covered and countries included are both resource poor and rich. Authors are multidisciplinary and regarded nationally and internationally in their field. Clinicians, advocates, policymakers, funders, and researchers will learn how programs were developed and implemented in each country. Authors describe children for whom pediatric palliative care is needed and provided for in their country. When applicable, a brief history of pediatric palliative care is included noting especially policy changes and legislative acts. For example, the chapter on Poland describes how pediatric palliative care grew from the Catholic church into a national movement spearheaded by several health care workers. The Pole national spirit that brought them through a change in political regime has also been a driving force in the pediatric palliative care movement. The chapter on South Africa, for example, illustrates how a resource poor country has been able to leverage philanthropic and government funding to make its dream of having an infrastructure of pediatric palliative care a reality. These are just a few examples of the inspiring stories that are included in this book. Readers from countries who wish to start a pediatric palliative care program, or advance an existing program, will learn valuable lessons from others who have faced similar barriers. Introduction and concluding chapters highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the modern pediatric palliative care movement.

Assessment of CBO’s And FBO’s Roles in Preventing and Controlling HIV/Aids by Bekuretsion Hailesilassie Abreha Pdf

The purpose of this research was to assess the roles played by CBOs and FBOs in prevention and controlling HIV/AIDS epidemic in Dilla town. In this research CBOs & FBOs are considered as the major community & faith based organizations that can ensure the mobilization of every section of the community in anti HIV/AIDS activities. In order to assess the roles played by the different CBOs & FBOs, interview & focus group discussion were made with the leaders of the organizations. The study set out objectives and used qualitative methods and selected 15 samples using random sampling technique. The data sources are interview of NGOs leadres, key informants of church leaders, Iddir leaders. The activities of governmental and non-governmental organizations were assessed with regard to their activities in involving in HIV/AIDS intervention activities. It was found that increased mortality rate among majority of target group resulting in increased expenditure on burial and related activities progressively depleted the financial resources of the organizations. Community based HIV/AIDS intervention that is undertaken in involving CBOs & FBOs in anti HIV/AIDS activities is in its infancy. Few efforts are being made to involve in anti HIV/AIDS activities by certain NGOs and GOs. Very few NGOs are currently working in the areas of HIV/AIDS interventions. The existing attempts are recently adopted in which very few took part. The existing activities of involved CBOs & FBOs are mainly reliant on the technical and financial assistance obtained from NGOs and GOs. The activities of NGO range from capacity building for local community based organizations like Iddirs, to provision of care and support for AIDS patients and AIDS orphans. The role of partner NGOs are considerable in taking part in HIV/AIDS interventions, as well as enhancing their role in these activities. Partner NGOs implement projects, which obviously are limited in resources, time and area. The sustainability of many of these activities is limited. The activities of GOs include formation of Iddirs council and facilitate capacity building activities for the community in anti HIV/AIDS activities. There is large amount of financial resources availed at the national level, which is meant to enhance the financial capacity of CBOs in their anti HIV/AIDS activities. However, COBOs & FBOs rarely prepared project proposals to use the funds. Limited technical capacity is the major factor that hinders the success of such attempts.
