Watch the Video Interview Below
People around the world will learn of the African culture and how their beliefs there are very different most other parts of the globe. This is essential to know in order to raise awareness and educate the public in Africa, as Berrie Holtzhausen will tell us today. Most of us understand the disease is the same all over the globe, but the challenges can be very different and difficult to overcome if cultural beliefs aren’t incorporated.
We will learn how influencing these beliefs is happening through Berrie and his work through Alzheimer Dementia Namibia by shifting mindsets of old beliefs to heart-sets recognizing the humanness of each and every person. Learn how you can help too.
