Hi everybody,
As you may all know Dr. Bezruchka will discuss global health and poverty this Monday. Pre medical club is going to offer light refreshments. One more reason for you to be there!!!!
Also yesterday we watched the first video on UN MDG goals.
It was about Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. We also had a nice discussion about it afterwards. Next meeting we will discuss the second goal which is achieving universal primary education.
