We are pleased to announce that MonWHO will be hosting its second annual NGO Fair at this year’s conference! As a participant in the MonWHO conference 2010, you are cordially invited to display a poster representing your respective organisation or humanitarian project at this exciting event. The event is designed to provide opportunities for delegates to take their passion for fostering a healthier global community out of the model setting and into the real world.
The NGO Fair is meant to be a space for delegates to share and grow! The poster session underscores the theme of the conference, while sharing new perspectives and solutions in tackling global health issues. If you are the leader or member of a local/global community project or student/registered organization whose voice you would like to be heard at this event, please register on the website. We are delighted to promote student leadership and to have student initiatives represented at this event!
