This Campaign with Free Diabetes Mellitus Screening with Diabetes involved for this World Health Day' s 2017 theme which is 'Depression: Let's Talk' basing of the previous World Health Day' s 2016 theme which was ' Diabetes' .

The WHO focused World Health Day 2016, on diabetes – a largely preventable and treatable non-communicable disease that is rapidly increasing in numbers in many countries, most dramatically in low- and middle-income countries. Simple lifestyle measures have been shown to be effective in preventing or delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes, including maintaining normal body weight, engaging in regular physical activity, and eating a healthy diet. Diabetes can be controlled and managed to prevent complications through diagnosis, self-management education, and affordable treatment.
The WHO estimates about 422 million people in the world have diabetes, with the disease the direct cause of some 1.5 million deaths. The goals of WHD 2016 are (1) scale up prevention, (2) strengthen care, and (3) enhance surveillance.

World Health Day 2017, celebrated on 7 April, aimed to mobilize action on depression. This condition affects people of all ages, from all walks of life, in all countries. It impacts on people’s ability to carry out everyday tasks, with consequences for families, friends, and even communities, workplaces, and health care systems. At worst, depression can lead to self-inflicted injury and suicide. A better understanding of depression – which can be prevented and treated – will help reduce the stigma associated with the illness, and lead to more people seeking help.

Therefore, African Union Students' Council (AUSC) President's Office has decided to invite more Rwandan based Non-governmental Organizations that are allowed to conduct health related events supported by their constitutions specified in their objectives, missions and visions to relate the current World Health Day 2017 Theme"Depression" with the Theme"Diabetes" of the previous World Health Day 2016  involving centers of mental health disabled people and non mental health disabled out patients consultations from different health care facilities around the Kigali City where this combination will help to assess both people living with depression and those living with diabetes will be able to talk about links between diabetes and depression making our efforts to raise awareness on both serious conditions and how possible it is to prevent , treat and control both Depression and Diabetes during the conference day on Sunday May 21st, 2017, From 14h00’ to 16:30’ Kigali Local Time at Kigali Hilltop Hotel & Country Club .

Pre-Introduction

World Health Day - 7 April 2017

The World Health Day is a global health awareness day celebrated every year on 7 April, under the sponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as other related organisations.

In 1948, the WHO held the First World Health Assembly. The Assembly decided to celebrate 7 April of each year, with effect from 1950, as the World Health Day. The World Health Day is held to mark WHO's founding, and is seen as an opportunity by the organization to draw worldwide attention to a subject of major importance to global health each year.
The WHO organizes international, regional and local events on the Day related to a particular theme. World Health Day is acknowledged by various governments and non-governmental organizations with interests in public health issues, who also organize activities and highlight their support in media reports, such as the Global Health Council.

World Health Day is one of eight official global health campaigns marked by WHO, along with World Tuberculosis Day, World Immunization Week, World Malaria Day, World No Tobacco Day, World AIDS Day, World Blood Donor Day, and World Hepatitis Day.

World Health Day’s 2017 theme is ‘Depression: Let’s Talk’

The United Nations’ World Health Organisation celebrates World Health Awareness Day each year on April 7. This year, WHO’s year-long focus is on depression, that is touted to be one of the main reasons behind mental illnesses across the world.

This year’s theme Depression: Let’s Talk, aims to reach out and help people battling with the disorder. According to WHO’s latest estimates, between 2005-2015, there has been an 18 per cent increase in people dealing with depression, that is approximately 300 million people.

A lot of people around us, who probably come across as anti-social, withdrawn or aloof might not be socially awkward, unlike what you think. Chances are they might be dealing with issues that they cannot open up about because of the lack of support, taboo and stigma associated with depression.
Is There a Link Between Diabetes and Depression? Know the Facts

Is there a connection between depression and diabetes?
Key points

    Studies show that having diabetes doubles your risk of developing depression.
    It’s also possible that people with depression are more likely to develop diabetes.
    Untreated depression can make it more difficult to successfully manage your diabetes.
Some studies show that having diabetes doubles your risk of developing depression. If diabetes-related health problems emerge, your risk for depression can increase even further. It remains unclear exactly why this is. Some researchers suggest that this could be due to diabetes' metabolic effect on brain function as well as the toll day-to-day management can take.

It’s also possible that people with depression are more likely to develop diabetes. Because of this, it’s recommended that people who have a history of depression be screened for diabetes.

Keep reading for more on the connection between diabetes and depression, as well as information on diagnosis, treatment, and more.

What the research says

Although more research is needed to fully understand the link between diabetes and depression, it’s clear that there’s a connection.

It’s thought that alterations in brain chemistry tied to diabetes may be related to the development of depression. For example, damage resulting from diabetic neuropathy or blocked blood vessels in the brain may contribute to the development of depression in people with diabetes.

Conversely, changes in the brain due to depression may cause an increased risk for complications. Studies have shown that people with depression are at higher risk for diabetes complications, but is has been difficult to determine which causes which. It hasn’t been determined if depression increases the risk for complications, or vice versa.

Symptoms of depression can make it more difficult to successfully manage diabetes and prevent diabetes-related complications.

A 2011 study found that people who have type 2 diabetes and experience symptoms of depression often have higher blood sugar levels. Additionally, the results of a separate 2011 study suggest that people who have both conditions are 82 percent more likely to experience a heart attack.

Symptoms
Are the symptoms of depression different for people with diabetes?

Just trying to cope with and properly manage a chronic disease like diabetes can feel overwhelming for some. If you feel depressed and your sadness isn't relieved within a few weeks, you may be experiencing depression.

Common symptoms include:

    no longer finding pleasure in activities that you once enjoyed
    experiencing insomnia or sleeping too much
    loss of appetite or binge eating
    inability to concentrate
    feeling lethargic
    feeling anxious or nervous all the time
    feeling isolated and alone
    feeling sadness in the morning
    feeling that you "never do anything right"
    having suicidal thoughts
    harming yourself

Poor diabetes management can also prompt symptoms similar to those of depression. For example, if your blood sugar is too high or too low, you may experience increased feelings of anxiety, restlessness, or low energy. Low blood sugar levels can also cause you to feel shaky and sweaty, which are symptoms similar to anxiety.

Diabetes has different signs that can be various also having different consequences. This condition can also be debilitating, lowering  your life quality, and  if your diabetes is not managed properly , it can lead to more other health problems – However, through your daily diet , Diabetes can be well managed .

Moreover, if you’re experiencing symptoms of depression, you should consult your doctor. They can help you determine if depression is causing your symptoms and make a diagnosis, if needed. They can also work with you to develop a treatment plan that best suits your needs.

World Health Day’s 2017 theme is ‘Depression: Let’s Talk’
Depression is commonly found as a co-morbid condition in chronic medical illnesses in general, and diabetes mellitus (DM) in particular. Depression in patients with DM represents a complex, co-morbid condition, which is the result of complicated interactions between bio-psycho-social and genetic factors.(repeated text) Depression originates as a direct consequence of neurochemical changes with DM, which harmfully affects health outcomes. The combination of diabetes and depression is associated with decrease in functional abilities and self-care.
 The World Health Day is a global health awareness day celebrated every year on 7 April, under the sponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as other related organisations.

However this Event was shifted from April 7th, 2017 and postponed following the activities of KWIBUKA 23 that was taking place in Rwanda from April 7th to April 13th , 2017 , and the event shifted for the AUSC celebration of the World Health Day at the 1st Time in Rwanda  is aiming to continue the African Union Students’ Council (AUSC)’s Awareness Rising For The 3rd Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) through Controlling Non-Communicable Diseases ( NCD) in the KIGALI CITY  with the main purpose to Promote a Diabetic Free Rwandan Population especially for those living or Visiting  the Kigali City by conducting a one whole Month Campaign for  Earlier Detection of Abnormal Blood Sugars by offering a free of charge screening for Abnormal Blood Sugar that can be incidentally diagnosed as Diabetes Mellitus at the late stage.

SUMMARY 

Topic: AUSC Event CONCEPT NOTE for World Health Day Celebration Campaign with Free Diabetes Mellitus Screening in Kigali City
World Health Day’s 2017 theme is ‘Depression: Let’s Talk’

The campaign in Kigali City will be taking place from Monday April 24th to  Friday May  19th, 2017 involving the three Districts making the Kigali City on different Major Sites and its associated Conference aiming  the celebration of the “WORLD HEALTH DAY” Will take place on Sunday May 21st, 2017, From 14h00’ to 16:30’ Kigali Local Time at Kigali Hilltop Hotel & Country Club .
This Campaign with Free Diabetes Mellitus Screening with Diabetes involved for this World Health Day' s 2017 theme which is 'Depression: Let's Talk' basing of the previous World Health Day' s 2016 theme which was ' Diabetes' .

The WHO focused World Health Day 2016, on diabetes – a largely preventable and treatable non-communicable disease that is rapidly increasing in numbers in many countries, most dramatically in low- and middle-income countries. Simple lifestyle measures have been shown to be effective in preventing or delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes, including maintaining normal body weight, engaging in regular physical activity, and eating a healthy diet. Diabetes can be controlled and managed to prevent complications through diagnosis, self-management education, and affordable treatment.
The WHO estimates about 422 million people in the world have diabetes, with the disease the direct cause of some 1.5 million deaths. The goals of WHD 2016 are (1) scale up prevention, (2) strengthen care, and (3) enhance surveillance.

World Health Day 2017, celebrated on 7 April, aimed to mobilize action on depression. This condition affects people of all ages, from all walks of life, in all countries. It impacts on people’s ability to carry out everyday tasks, with consequences for families, friends, and even communities, workplaces, and health care systems. At worst, depression can lead to self-inflicted injury and suicide. A better understanding of depression – which can be prevented and treated – will help reduce the stigma associated with the illness, and lead to more people seeking help.

Therefore, African Union Students' Council (AUSC) President's Office has decided to invite more Rwandan based Non-governmental Organizations that are allowed to conduct health related events supported by their constitutions specified in their objectives, missions and visions to relate the current World Health Day 2017 Theme"Depression" with the Theme"Diabetes" of the previous World Health Day 2016  involving centers of mental health disabled people and non mental health disabled out patients consultations from different health care facilities around the Kigali City where this combination will help to assess both people living with depression and those living with diabetes will be able to talk about links between diabetes and depression making our efforts to raise awareness on both serious conditions and how possible it is to prevent , treat and control both Depression and Diabetes during the conference day on Sunday May 21st, 2017, From 14h00’ to 16:30’ Kigali Local Time at Kigali Hilltop Hotel & Country Club .

Good morning.
The Office of the President of African Union Students' Council (AUSC) "For The Better Africa We Deserve " would like to deliver this announcement to the public for Notarizing all willing adherent Members and Members of Honor of AUSC by the Notary of the Government Of Rwanda.

The Executive Committee of the African Union Students’ Council (AUSC) which is a Pan-African Organization has vision to shape The Better Africa We Deserve, basing on our recent decision to open our 1st AUSC Bank Account in the ECOBANK RWANDA as a main Account N°: 0010093812905901 named AFRICAN UNION STUDENTS COUNCIL (AUSC) and now opening its different sub accounts as mentioned in our AUSC Board meeting Resolution notarized document previously submitted to the ECOBANK-RWANDA Headquarters for this purpose.  Therefore, Sub Accounts we need to open today are:
1st named; AFRICAN STUDENTS’ INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT FUND (ASIDF)
2nd named; AFRICAN STUDENTS’ INTERNATIONAL CRITICAL THINKERS BOARD (ASICTB)


In fact, dear all AUSC adherent members and members of Honor, the AUSC President's Office wishes to advance with the AUSC Decentralized International Leadership Legalization and Reforming all the International Membership Stractures and to congratulate all our friends of African Union Students' Council who were added in the AUSC by the AUSC President for different purposes including visiting the AUSC 2016-2019 All Leaders and interacting with them, it was a very exciting and excellent experience to have all of AUSC Leaders and Advisors inside AUSC.

However, we would love to stay as AUSC Family only to be able to keep discussing internal concerns and thus we are soon going to remove those who were mentioned as non AUSC  Leaders for the mentioned purpose ignoring to contribute with their first initial Funds to support the AUSC International Action Plan Activities via joining the  ASIDF International Board Membership contributing 120USD for Membership Fees.

NB: The Notary of the Government of Rwanda will be soon notifying the AUSC Members who are allowed to keep serving AUSC as Official Appointed AUSC Leaders in all Regions of Africa and Diaspora.
Therefore, the AUSC President's Office  has appointed different AUSC Leaders and it is time to give all of them the numbers and notify the 1st Notarized Official AUSC Members list involving all Applied and Appointed AUSC Leaders by the AUSC President's Office in Kigali -Rwanda.
Besides all available funding members of AUSC who signed on the current AUSC Notarized Constitution,

Therefore, the Current AUSC Executive Committee in Kigali will revise the files submitted on the AUSC International Communication Office via email :ausc.comminication.office@gmail.com ,and will be calling one by one to determine AUSC Leaders consenting to adhere to the AUSC as  official Members to be notarized and receive official documents allowing them to occupy their Previous Post and Position inside AUSC from different Countries across Africa and the African Diaspora.

As well, AUSC will never allow adherent members who have not yet completed their initial Contribution inside ASIDF International Bank Account to become automatically AUSC adherent Members following the Rules Governing AUSC as mentioned in its Current Notarized Constitution.
The given deadline for completing the Contribution as members of the ASIDF International Board is April 30th, 2017.
Exception is only for AUSC appointed National representatives who are allowed to collect initial Funds from their appointed Zonal, Districts as Clubs Representatives and members of their Offices and will be able to contribute initial fund of 120USD as AUSC National Chapter Office Coordinator allowing his Official Appointment at Notarization of His Name and will proceed to open ASIDF+The Name of his/her Country and save all other Funds as collected from his/her national Members in the Names of AUSC not later than April 30th, 2017.
For the Members of AUSC International Committee will be given a period of 12 months to complete their initial Funds of 120USD to the ASIDF Internationals Bank Account to be able to appear on the Notarized List of Adherent  Members of the AUSC and Members of Honour of AUSC in order to keep their current International Positions And Titles and failure to contribute at least 10USD Per Month to every AUSC International Committee Leaders from the AUSC Presidential Team members all will lead to the cancellation of the Titles and Position of the leader and his /Her Position and Titles will be advertised for New ASIDF International Board Members Only.

Basing on the AUSC International Communication Office recorded databases, AUSC President's Office  has decided to enumerate Official AUSC Members who were given free membership inside AUSC from January 1st, 2016 in order to give them matriculation numbers and consider their willingness to join the new AUSC Membership which is going to be only based on the completed payment of the basic contribution on the ASIDF International Bank Account Opened in The ECOBANK -RWANDA to keep their current AUSC free membership updated or totally loose it completely.

Basic contribution per year per individual year is 120USD that can be paid before April 30th, 2017.
For the already appointed AUSC Representatives on National Level will be able to collect this basic contribution from their current mobilized Zonal, Districts, Clubs Representatives in order to maintain their AUSC National Chapter appointment and failure to use fundraising efforts to any Appointed AUSC National Office will lead to the re advertisement of their Chapter to be headed by New ASIDF Members in that Country.
For all Appointed AUSC International committee Leaders, the ASIDF Membership is a personal engagement and whoever fails to contribute to the ASIDF will lose as well the Appointed Position inside AUSC and remain with the granted AUSC Free Membership only to allow the AUSC President's Office to advertise the position to the new ASIDF Members only.

NB:

AUSC International Committee is composed of the AUSC Presidential Team, AUSC Regional Representatives Team, AUSC Different Affairs Representatives Team, and AUSC African Diaspora Representatives Team.

While ASIDF Account will be reserved for transactions reserved for opening different businesses to generate money that will keep increasing the ASIDF capacity to finally becoming capable of initiating the 1st Ever existed Young People Pan African Bank named African Students' International Development Bank (ASIDB) "For The Sustainable Developed Africa We Deserve " not later than December 31st,  2017.

Following the AUSC President's Office announced distribution of the AUSC International Action Plan 2016-2019 published online following this link : http://www.africanunionsc.org/2017/01/ausc-international-action-plan-2016.html ,
Every AUSC Appointed Leader must read and memorize the ASIDF  three categories and decide in which category will be getting and for heads of all AUSC Chapters across the Continent of Africa and Worldwide must choose which Category they will register their Current AUSC Chapter Office and obtain final Appointment Certificate based on their AUSC National Office Completed Contribution inside ASIDF International Board by Submitting funds mentioned for a chosen ASIDF Category among the below three Categories not later than April 30th,  2017:

The 1st category of ASIDF allows you to become member of International Board of the ASIDF and will be able to get benefits based on your contributions in two years. Basic contribution is 120USD to be completed in one year only.

The 2nd category allows you to become member of International Board of the ASIDF and African Students International Development Bank (ASIDB) benefits continue in 3 years. Basic contribution is 240USD to be completed in one year only.

The 3rd category of ASIDF allows you to become member of the International Board of ASIDF, ASIDB and International African Students' Education Loan Board (IASELB). Basic contribution is 480USD to be completed in One year only. This is called Business class.

Therefore,  if there will be Any new person asking how to join AUSC as member besides being appointed for any AUSC Leadership position inside AUSC, through the ASIDF categories is the only possible way non AUSC Leaders from March 31st, 2017 will be able to join AUSC, whoever will be added to any list as AUSC as AUSC Leader or AUSC non Leader Members will be considered only after joining at least one of the ASIDF Categories from the 1st category of the ASIDF to the 3rd category of the ASIDF.

Therefore this is given to all AUSC Leaders as warning and instruction regarding any AUSC appointed Leader officially by the AUSC President's Office from Kigali-Rwanda East African Region that the only allowed AUSC Leaders to offer any Appointment permitting any individual person to become officially an AUSC Member must be made by AUSC Regional Representative, Diaspora Representative and AUSC National Representative.

While All Officially Appointed AUSC National Representatives are going soon to be redirected all their duties from AUSC National Representatives to the AUSC National Chapters Coordinators basing on their Commitments in completing the initial contribution for any Country joining AUSC must complete the ASIDF International Board Membership contribution with submitting the basic Contribution of 120USD not later than April 30th, 2017 fund raised from  committed  AUSC Leaders and AUSC Clubs Members of their Countries .

The new AUSC Leaders appointment done for free in any country where AUSC President has appointed AUSC Regional, Diaspora and National Representatives are no longer accepted inside AUSC since the Official Launching of the ASIDF on Friday 31st March, 2017 .

Therefore all AUSC Memberships from National and African Diaspora Level will be obtained through completing basic contribution to the ASIDF National or African Diaspora membership. Thus allowing new ASIDF Members admitted from current AUSC Offices to become automatically AUSC members to the AUSC International Level and all AUSC International Members will be given matriculation to identify them from Feke and falsified AUSC Memberships in upcoming years.

Therefore, there is no more possibilities reserved to allow any AUSC Appointed Leader by the Office of the President of AUSC in Kigali -Rwanda -East Africa to appoint any new member inside AUSC without presenting a written report of that person's completely paid contribution to the ASIDF Account (Bank slip) in that Country in Africa or African Diaspora.
Finally, AUSC free membership became a closed system from March 31st, 2017 in order to promote ASIDF.
Thus, AUSC President's Office has limited all new appointments for only opening ASIDF memberships to be followed by automatic AUSC Membership.
