Preventing Diabetes What Can Children Do?

3 May, 2021

Dear All

We are pleased to have secured some funding to work with teachers, children, and other experts and practitioners in Guam to develop 'Children for Health' posters and on the topic of prevention of Diabetes.

As part of all our projects, we seek to assemble a group of practitioners and experts to help in a voluntary capacity to ensure that our content and activities are accurate and up to date.

If you would like to become a part of this review group - please contact me urgently as we are needing to complete this work over two months and have a draft by the end of this month (May 2021). Most of the work is done by email.

If you would like to have a look at the resources that we develop, please take a look at our website www.childrenforhealth.org/resources and/or download this Malaria poster from this link.

Thank-you!
