of Irish Aid, Sister Miriam Duggan and her tireless work in Uganda 2 , Mary Donohoe of the Rose Project 3 , my own namesake and fellow Jesuit Michael D. Kelly, who established Kara Counselling 4 here in Lusaka, Sister Kay O’Neill who runs Our Lady’s Hospice 5 , also here in Lusaka, and James O’Connor of the Open Heart House in Dublin 6 . I think also of the thousands I have known and admired, people who experienced utterly dehumanising sufferings, but who rarely complained, and never lost hope. I trust that the association of my name with this annu- al lecture will be seen as symbolic with me as it were standing in for and representing the great body of wonderful Irish people who have spent themselves in addressing HIV and AIDS and their appalling impacts, as well as the great body of heroic people who have endured the worst ravages of the epidemic. I conclude by saluting all of these for their great resilience, their unquenchable hope, and above all, their unsurpassed human dignity. I welcome you again, and I thank you. I hope you will enjoy the lecture, and may God bless all of you”. 2 Sister Dr. Miriam Duggan is an Irish Obstetrician who was the Founder of Youth Alive, and in 2015 was awarded the Presidential Award for Distinguished Service for the Irish Overseas 3 An NGO founded by Mary Donohoe, which aimed to fund programmes addressing maternal and child healthcare in Malawi. 4 The Kara Counselling and Training Trust, founded in 1989, pioneered in the field of Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) in Zambia, running VCT centres in Lusaka, and providing other activities. 5 Hospice in Lusaka which provides care for those living with HIV, including volunteers who visit patients in surrounding communities to support medication adherence and general health. 6 Open Heart House was a member-led organisation in Dublin which aimed to support and empower people living with HIV to lead full and productive lives. 27
