It is mid 2023 already, how time flies... 2023 started at a relatively fast pace and brought positive strides for the National Society. The national Society embarked on multiple trainings including communication and project management. The two training courses were to help bring us up to speed with better efficient strategies when implementing, coordinating, and managing our programmes and projects.
