CMPi Leadership Development Programme Group 3
A 3rd group of volunteers has just returned from a week in Sao Paulo working with PROATA, an organisation that is dedicated to the study and treatment of eating disorders.
Whilst on the project volunteers developed marketing materials for PROATA in order to increase awareness about eating disorders and the work that they are doing. Volunteers also helped PROATA staff to identify sponsorship opportunities for the annual Brazilian conference of eating disorders and obesity."I had no idea what impact our work would have on the Proata team. We've already done some presentations to them of vision, mission and objectives and it was quite emotional to see them embracing our suggestions and getting enthusiastic about the future initiatives (one of the ladies nearly cried!)."
