Bruinsma, Irene K. Adams en haar echtgenoot reisden waar zijn werk hen naartoe bracht (Londen, Maracaibo, Caracas, Santiago, Rio de Janeiro) totdat ze in 1986 met hun twee kinderen in Belo Horizonte aankwamen. Daar ontdekte ze de wereld van AIDS, HIV, en straatkinderen, wat leidde tot de oprichting van de Ammor Kliniek in 1988, het directeurschap van een filantropisch ziekenhuis voor AIDS- en terminaal kankerpati\u00ebnten van 1995 tot 2006, en het uitbreiden van de activiteiten naar de AMMOR Kliniek om het Ammor Project te cre\u00ebren.<\/p>\n<p>De kliniek werd onderdeel van Projet d&#8217;Ammor. De missie van Projet d&#8217;Ammor is \u2018Onderwijs voor het leven door gezondheid\u2019. Deze missie houdt de bevordering van gezondheid in elke aspect in; mentaal, emotioneel, cultureel en spiritueel. Kinderen en adolescenten worden geleerd om zelfvertrouwen te ontwikkelen en controle over hun leven te nemen. Het project heeft duizenden kinderen geholpen om hun innerlijke kracht te vinden en een uitweg uit de armoede.<\/p>\n<p>Het levenswerk van deze dame was in gevaar, omdat in 1996 de samenwerkende ontwikkelingsorganisaties in Nederland besloten dat Brazili\u00eb geen arm land is, maar een land waar enorme inkomensverschillen bestaan. Daarom besloten ze om geen projecten voor straatkinderen meer te ondersteunen. Dit betekende dat het project moest overleven met minimale middelen.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Adams besloot niet op te geven en ging door met haar werk. Nu heeft ze een internationaal netwerk van organisaties opgebouwd (waaronder de Clinton School of Public Service) die het project ondersteunen. Ze is hierin geslaagd omdat haar werk echt belangrijk is voor deze kinderen en ze een inspirerende manier heeft om haar boodschap over te brengen.<\/p>\n<p>Vanwege haar uitgebreide ervaring met straatkinderen, de zorg voor getraumatiseerde kinderen, HIV en AIDS, en de strijd tegen armoede is ze een internationaal gevraagde spreker, onder andere in Brazili\u00eb, Nederland, de Verenigde Staten, Itali\u00eb, Oostenrijk en het Verenigd Koninkrijk.<\/p>\n<p>Met haar ervaring in allerlei gebieden en haar inspirerende manier van spreken kan Dr. Adams een lezing geven over allerlei thema&#8217;s, waaronder:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Werken met (vaak getraumatiseerde) straatkinderen.<\/li>\n<li>Omgaan met HIV en AIDS.<\/li>\n<li>Het opzetten van een projectorganisatie in een vreemd land.<\/li>\n<li>Hoe ze tot haar aanpak is gekomen en waarom deze aanpak succesvol is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UCSF Medical School afgestudeerd in de klas van 1963, gespecialiseerd in interne geneeskunde en medische oncologie (Cornell Medical School en Memorial Sloan Kettering, New York) en immunologie (Medische Faculteit van Santiago, Chili), getrouwd met de Nederlandse econoom A.C.
