Spanish “Talks to Schools” Programme

Thanks to help from CoMO a “Talks to Schools” programme is initiated in Spain – May 2010

Thanks to a small grant from CoMO, Fundacion Irene Megias contral Meningitis has been able to initiate an information programme in schools. The president of the Fundacion, Jorge Megias, has visited schools across Spain to speak to pupils and staff about the signs and symptoms and the prevention of meningitis. The programme was carried out through March and April and talks were given in five schools.

The grant from CoMO also helped the Fundacion to conduct a training workshop for volunteers on the issues surrounding the presentation of the symptoms of the disease to a young audience. Six volunteers attended this interesting workshop and left with a full pack of information and a pen drive.

CoMO is very happy to have helped to support the Fundacion in their work.
