Dear members of the healthcare community,

We are pleased to announce that we are holding a design develop-
ment workshop to develop a mobile/satellite health clinic to
combat HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa and would be honored if
you would consider participating in this important event.

The workshop is the result of an international design competi-
tion held in 2002 to develop designs for sustainable and cost-
effective mobile/satellite health clinics to combat HIV/AIDS in
Sub-Saharan Africa. This two day event will afford health care
providers a unique opportunity to work alongside architects and
designers to develop a clinic to address the healthcare needs of
the region's underserved and rural populations.

We see the workshop as a critical step in moving from idea to
implementation and look forward to including you in that proc-
ess. Once the designs have been fully developed, construction
documentation will be made available to all those who partici-
pate in the workshop.

The event will take place over the course of two days, but we
understand your time is valuable. If you wish to participate,
but cannot stay for both days, we recommend you join us for the
first day during which the designs will be presented and cri-
tiqued.

There is no fee to attend the workshop, but space is limited.
Lunch and refreshments will be served.

Feel free to forward this invite to anyone you think would be
interested in attending and if you wish to participate, please
RSVP via e-mail before February 20, 2004 to:
