***************************************

Dear Colleagues,

The Insight Initiative Team would like to INVITE YOU
to join a pre-conference email discussion leading up
to the Fifth International Conference on Home and
Community Care for Persons Living with HIV/AIDS
taking place in Chiang Mai, Thailand from 17-20
December 2001.  The theme of the conference is ?The
Power of Humanity? and it is being organised by the
Thailand Red Cross Society, the World Health
Organization and the Royal Thailand Government

By using a broad-based consultative approach before
the conference, we hope that many more people will be
able to participate in identifying priorities, sharing
practical experiences and identifying effective
strategies to improve the quality of home and
community-based care.
Discussions will start in mid-August 2001 and continue
until the start of the conference in December, 2001

The four main pre-conference discussion themes will
be:
1. Care, treatment and support in the community
2. Stigmatization and discrimination in the social
context of care.
3. Enabling and empowering environment so as to
support care
4. Positive living

This discussion will link directly into the
development of the conference programme, as well build
on past events such as the previous international
conference held in Paris in 1999 and the First
Regional
Conference on Community Home-based Care in Africa,
held in Botswana just a few months ago.

As part of the initiative, we are also hoping to
identify up to fifteen Key Correspondents (KCs) from
Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America.  The
KCs will provide national perspectives and contribute
to pre-conference discussions, as well as being
brought to the conference in Thailand to report on
proceedings.  We invite those who are interested in
becoming a KC to please send a curriculum vitae to:
correspondents@hdnet.org

KCs will also be identified during the pre-conference
discussions based on their active participation in the
forum.

The pre-conference thematic discussions will take
place on ProCAARE, an email discussion forum that
serves as a vital link between health care workers,
particularly those in developing countries, ProCAARE
aims to facilitate the global exchange of information
and knowledge pertaining to HIV/AIDS. ProCAARE is a
collaborative effort between SATELLIFE, the Harvard
AIDS Institute and HDN.

If you are already a member of ProCAARE, more 
information on what to expect will be sent to you
shortly.  If you are not already taking part
in ProCAARE, and to make sure that you are part of
this exciting discussion from the outset, send an
email now to:
majordomo@usa.healthnet.org

with the following in the text of your message:

Please contact HDN immediately if you are from a
teaching institution (e.g., nursing/midwifery school),
and would like to integrate these discussions into
your curriculum as a learning opportunity for students
over the coming months.

We look forward to working together to make this a
stimulating and valuable discussion. Please forward
this message to all those who might be interested.
