Donation to Section of Tropical Medicine
22.01.2012, Katja Bernard
The Foundation for a Better World and the Novo Analitica Company d.o.o. have donated a Piccolo Xpress Chemistry Analyzer for the needs of medical expeditions through the Department of Tropical Medicine at the Medical Faculty, Ljubljana. This analyzer is of great importance for further missions by our doctors when visiting third- world countries. It has the great ability to provide the many different blood results (electrolyte, kidney, liver and metabolic tests, and more) needed to diagnose diseases, taking only 10 minutes. It will already be doing it's job next month in Uganda, Kenya, Zambia, Madagascar and other places. At this occasion we thank, in the name of the Foundation, the director of Novo Analitica Jože Stergulec, and we wish the Department every success healing patients in Tropical areas.
School Parliament » Heros of Our Time«
01.01.2012, Katja Bernard
This year's topic at the School Parliament »Heros of our Time« emphasised a flaw within today's society that suggests questionable idols and models for children and youth. Is it really heroic to be rich or famous or to just have a pretty face?! What about honesty, empathy towards others, loyality, and friendship? Together with the children we elected new heroes, those who represent the best human qualities. You can see what we did (how we did it) in our Photo Gallery. ( More about Association's workshops and theatre performances.)
Your help is precious!
