NEW AYF CENTRAL COUNCIL ANNOUNCED: NIDUS

Sireli ungerner,

In cooperation with the AYF Eastern Region, we are pleased to announce the creation of the AYF Nidus Central Council. This group was established by AYF members and Armenian college students earlier this year to develop Armenia's medical field. The Nidus program will seek to connect Diasporan Armenians who study and have interest in the fields of medicine and public health, with an opportunity to directly aid our homeland.

The first goal of the council is to create and maintain an updated website with information on healthcare related issues. Furthermore, a need assessment will take place this summer to determine areas in which Armenians need increased awareness and education. The next step will be to use the data gathered to develop and administer health education lessons in various villages and cities. The long-term goal of Nidus is to develop a health education curriculum for elementary and junior high school students in Armenia, Artsakh and Javakhk.

This is a direct opportunity for those interested to utilize knowledge and education in a real world setting; assisting Armenia. All those with a background in biology, medicine, public health, public administration or other interest should join.

If you have any questions or if you are interested in participating in the medical or educational aspect of the Council, please email AYFNidus@gmail.com

Fraternally,
AYF Western Region
Central Executive
