OTARG NEWSLETTER

(Occupational Therapy Africa Regional Group)

October 2012
No. 17

 

EDITORIAL

This is OTARG‟S 17th Newsletter and has the most wonderful information in it. Please read every word!

It is with such pleasure that I am able to send out to you the 1st Announcement of the 8th Congress of the Occupational Therapy African Regional Group (OTARG) in Harare, Zimbabwe, next year from 19th to the 23rd August 2013.

As I said in the last Newsletter these Congresses of OTARG keep the whole organisation together and have assumed enormous importance for the region. Keep looking at the OTARG website for the announcements to keep up to date. It is www.otarg.org.za and is also on the WFOT website at www.wfot.org.au.

In this edition you will also find the first notification of the bursaries from OTARG that will be available to two applicants to attend the Congress in Harare next year. The sale of the book “Occupational Therapy: An African Perspective” edited by Vivyan Alers and Rosemary Crouch, published by Sarah Shorten Publishers on behalf of OTARG, has generated US$ 1000 each for two delegates. Details for applicants are given and it is the duty of the OTARG Executive Committee to choose the delegates. This truly is the most exciting development and a dream of every OTARG member who contributed to the book.

Also in this Newsletter you will find lovely reports from the various regions of OTARG. Thank you to those occupational therapists who responded so promptly, including our wonderful chairperson Sarah Matovu who discusses the new occupational therapy training in Rwanda, and a report from Sarah Makenda and Herma Grossmann from Tanzania. We are also so delighted also to have reports from the Seychelles and Ghana. This is a first!!
