The Duke Fuqua School of Business, the Divinity School and the Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI) co-sponsored a series of events to hear firsthand about the social and health-related needs throughout Africa. A panel of African leaders spoke to department heads, faculty, staff and students about how they are making a difference in their war-torn countries by bridging ideologies and promoting peace. "The connection between faith, ethics and our responsibility is often left out of the global health discussion. We have a responsibility to take care of all people as one, and it's something I'd love to see more of," said Aaron Stoertz, a DGHI Master of Science in Global Health student who is working to address health disparities in Durham.  "It's great that people from across the world can make that connection for me, so that I can apply it locally." The panel included Bishop Paride Taban, who became known in his Sudanese community as the "Peace Ambassador" for his efforts to promote peace and spirituality among deeply divided tribes; Angelina Atyam, a Ugandan nurse midwife and activist who has spread the message of forgiveness and reconciliation by raising awareness of violence, HIV/AIDS and drug use among youth; and Maureen Nafula, a Kenyan pharmacist who has crossed borders during war to treat sick people, and seeks to integrate health systems strengthening into school curricula throughout Kenya.
