LuMIMA Project

On May 10th 2012 ICRH organized the interactive event LuMIMA, an information and sensitization initiative within the framework of the Belgian Development Days.

LuMIMA started at 3 p.m. with ‘Think & Taste’, an information market about the Millennium Development Goals 4 & 5 (reducing child mortality and improving maternal health). Various  organizations working in the field were present such as Doctors without Borders, Handicap International, Amnesty International, FOS, UNICEF and more.

In the finals Joetz vzw challenged a group of eminent professors and celebrities among whom Prof Temmerman, Daniel Termont (Mayor of Ghent), Prof Dr Rik Torfs (Canon Law and senator), Tom Coenye (elected ‘the coolest professor of Ghent University 2012’) and Miss Laura Beyne (Miss Belgium 2012) and won the first price: a trip to Kenya.
