CHIFA is calling for applications for a new volunteer moderator. This involved approving new messages which are running at about 3-5/week and the time taken for each one is usually less than 5 minutes. we currently have a rota which would be on duty for a week every month. Full training is provided and the post will broaden your horizons and fulfil a vitally important task - bringing new information to thousands of child health workers across the world.
