Dear Christine, et la, I think this effort of reaching the community in West Nile region is long over due. I know there are so many constraints in reaching out the public but efforts to coordinate event of this kind is adorable.
The more we improve on our efforts to reach the community on the ground , the better for all of us. Community out reach programs are powerful tools for educating the masses. As most of us know a lot of the problems in our region requires tremendous amount of effort on public education on so many themes. Unfortunately,mass media does not reach the majority of the population. Hopefully, teaming up with Radio Pacis will shorten this bottle neck in the long run. Congratulations??
