July 5 at 7 a.m.EST – This month we’ll be hearing from Grace Jerald, founder of CHD Malaysia, and Martha Shiimi Naambo, founder of Brave Little Hearts Namibia, followed by a discussion. Our monthly Leaders’ Forum is a fantastic opportunity to learn from others, to give and get support, and to share ideas. It’s a great way to network too! The sessions are open to all Global ARCH member organization leaders, and are held the first Friday of the month at 9 a.m. EST on Zoom. Video and call-in options are available for most countries. Registration is required. If you would like to give a short presentation (5-10 minutes) about your organization, please email info@global-arch.org.
