Friday, December 12, 2025, 7:30 EST The Baha'i experience building Indigenous health partnerships in Guyana: How Dr. Aidun made a difference with Dr. Brian Cameron. In the 1990s the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Guyana collaborated with the Guyanese Ministry of Health and other agencies to create a project designed to help rebuild a hospital and develop village health centres in remote indigenous communities in the Rupununi region.

Last Friday Dec 12th, 'Ripples' appeared on the front page of Guyana's national newspaper when their National Assembly presented a copy to the country's President Dr. Irfaan Ali.
