ZAJEDNO U AKCIJI - SADA!

 

Dear Friends,

CHF International is happy to be able to support Better Informed Citizen Decision Making through the USAID funded Community Revitalization through Democratic Action Program in Southern and Eastern Serbia. Through CRDA, we are supporting efforts in the field of Women's Reproductive Health. Our goal is to raise awareness amongst citizens of the importance of taking an active role in protecting your health and that of your friends and family. Serbian Medical experts can help you by providing advice on how to avoid health problems and reduce health risks, however, the person finally responsible for your health is yourself. The best time to start to take care of your health is not tomorrow, but NOW.

Sincerely,

Brian Holst
Country Director
CHF International/Srbija
