Dear friends,
On the occasion of the World Vitiligo Day 2022, I on behalf of Vitiligo society Manipur wish all the unfortunate vitiligo suffers, a healthy mind and health. We are all aware that the first World vitiligo day was observed for the first time in 2011, by a dedicated social movement group in Nairobi. The day was chosen to be the birthday of the famous African-born American pop singer Michael Jackson, who happened to be a vitiligo sufferer. The basic ideology of the observation is to develop dedicated social support groups for the spread of mass awareness of the non-harmful conditions of the vitiligo and to fight the discrimination against vitiligo sufferers all over the globe. It is a purely non-profit organization. Soon, the movement spread all over the world.
We too have been observing the Day. We developed a dedicated group for Manipur named “Vitiligo society Manipur” in 2019 and launched an exclusive website for mass public education about the disease along with an observation function. Unfortunately, last two years due to the Covid pandemic, apart from launching more information on our website, physical meetings could not be conducted.
As the Covid wave happened to decline to a comfortable status, now we took the courage for observing the Day physically this year. Our vitiligo sufferers are invited to join the observation when experts in various fields will be delivering lectures on the subject. We will actively encourage floor participation and the exchange of ideas and experiences. Invitation notice is available on the notice board. You are welcome.
Regards,
Dr. Karam Lokendro
