Taste the Commitment! Towards a Better Understanding of Endo ‘Taste the Commitment” was an afternoon of wine-tasting during which people discussed endometriosis as an affliction that should not prevent women from leading normal lives. Held at Wagga Gardens near Glen Valley recently, the event focused on creating awareness of the disease whose precise cause is yet to be established. Organised by QUEVES EVENTS, ‘Taste the Commitment’ was also aimed at raising funds for activities of the Botswana Endometriosis Foundation (BEF) as a support group. Among several dignitaries who graced the event was the Assistant Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry, Honourable Biggie Butale, whose keynote address elaborated on the theme of networking. “Events that contribute to fundraising for the Botswana Endometriosis Foundation are an indication of the great vision that this group of courageous women has for their objective of breaking the silence on endometriosis,” he said. For her part, the founder of Queves Events, Stacy Serebolo, thanked everyone in attendance for their support of the initiative. “This event is important not only for us but for women around the country who suffer, often in silence, from endometriosis,” Serebolo said. “It is important because the success of this event will get many people in Botswana talking and learning about endometriosis.” Special gratitude was extended to corporate sponsors for making the event possible. This exceptional mention went to AFA, State Bank of India, African Alliance, Babereki Ka Lorato, BOSETU, BTU, Far East, Bash Career, BAMB and BOCRA. *According to Wikipedia, endometriosis is a disease in which tissue that normally grows inside the uterus (endometrium) grows outside it. This happens mainly on ovaries, the fallopian tubes and tissues around the uterus and ovaries. Symptoms include severe cramping on both sides of the pelvis - especially during the menstrual period - and infertility. Worldwide the disease afflicts 6% to 10% of women mainly in their 30s and 40s, but can begin in girls as early as 8 years old. Although the precise cause of this debilitating affliction is yet to be determined, the Head of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Princess Marina Hospital, Dr. Ponatshego Gaolebale, believes that genetic predisposition plays a part. In an interview with BOPA, Dr Gaolebale said this is because endometriosis occurs 6 to 8 times more in women whose first degree relatives had or have it (Daily News 22/04/15).
