Out of Africa: RN Faces Zimbabwe's AIDS Crisis

Janice Cibart wasn't looking for adventure when she went to visit friends in Zimbabwe in 1996. But she got adventure, and more, during her three-month vacation. She got a life-changing experience.
Cibart had been working as a home care nurse for the Regina Health District in Saskatchewan, doing HIV/AIDS education. She was looking forward to the trip to Zimbabwe as an opportunity more than a vacation, she wanted to learn more about the disease devastating that part of Africa.

On her third day in Zimbabwe, she met the director of the Zimbabwe AIDS Network, who invited Cibart to a convention focused on setting up and developing HIV and AIDS education and treatment programs in Zimbabwe's rural areas. It was there she met Auxillia Chimsoro, an AIDS victim who fought through the disease to advocate on behalf of African women.
