information spreading on health issues, and to inform them on
concrete actions regarding the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs).

authorities acting in the Family Issues field. Given the floor,
the President spoke for more than an hour, explaining grass-root
action for the MDGs and practical implementation in the everyday
life.
The
President received a standing ovation, and a strong commitment
from the local authorities and the participants for immediate
and concrete action on the MDGs. The President also received,
as a token of appreciation, delicate hand-made crafts from the
NGOs.
