The Communication Initiative
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Healer in the Indigenous of Communities of Chiapas - Video

0 comments
When Jacinto gets sick, his relatives call upon a local healer to cure him. An intimate look at traditional Mayan healing practices, El Curandero reveals indigenous values of addressing the physical, spiritual, and psychological aspects of sickness and healing often in stark contrast to Western medicinal techniques. The actors are from Magdalena, a small community in the mountains.
