INFECTIOUS DISEASES - Blackherbals.com

Mission StatementOur aim at The African Traditional HerbalResearch Clinic is to propagate and promote theawareness in Afrikan peoples at home and abroad oftheir health, biodiversity, history and cultural richness.We gather pertinent information on these issues anddisseminate these freely to our people in Uganda, therest of the continent, and anywhere in the Diasporawhere Afrikans are located…. One of the mainingredients for increasing poverty, sickness,exploitation and domination is ignorance of one's self,and the environment in which we live. Knowledge ispower and the forces that control our lives don't wantto lose control, so they won't stop at anything to keepcertain knowledge from the people. Therefore, we areexpecting a fight and opposition to our mission.However, we will endeavor to carry forward this workin grace and perfect ways.“Where there is no culture, there is no indigenousknowledge. Where there is no indigenousknowledge, there is no history. Where there is nohistory, there is no science or technology. Theexisting nature is made by our past. Let us protectand conserve our indigenous knowledge.”☻☻☻☻☻☻C ALENDAR OF E VENTSSPECIAL EVENT: CLINIC OPENINGPLACE: AFRIKAN TRADITIONAL HERBAL RESEARCH CLINICTIME:Afrikan Traditional Herbal Research Clinic1175A Mukalazi Road, P.O.
