FASD Awareness Day

Sunday 9th September was the International Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder awareness day (ninth day of the ninth month, related to the nine months of pregnancy).

The Department of Health & Social Development (DHSD) here in Makkovik partnered in the afternoon service.

At four intervals duringthe service, Elsie Evans, Community Health Worker, read out facts about FASD.

Afterwards a meal, prepared by DHSD, was shared in church.
