Teaming Up with Man Up
Sat December 12, 2009
Fortuitously, Jimmie Briggs and Karen of the Man Up campaign happened to overlap in Johannesburg with us. We met at this adorable little bed & breakfast in the Melville area of Johannesburg for a fabulous dinner party (Celia Duggar and Barry Bearak, among others, were notable guests… also the best lasagna I’ve ever had! Go figure….) But we talked shop the whole time.
Man Up is a campaign against gender violence (www.manupcampaign.org). They are launching at World Cup as we’re culminating at World Cup – and of course, gender violence and HIV/AIDS are sister causes… so we’re discussing teaming up and discussing different forms that may take … but regardless, what a great partner to have! Speaking with Jimmie and Karen reminded us of all the co-causes that feed together. It was inspiring and empowering … so wonderful to be engaged and collaborating with important projects that go hand-in-hand.
Team Up!
