    Hi,

    My name is Jisun and I am currently engaged in MHM project for adolescent girls in Far-western Nepal.

    I came across the event poster too late, however, would there be anyway I could to reach the recorded file/or presentation files of this Webinar.
    Though the geographical and cultural context for the project differ, as an NGO worker myself working for MHM issue, the information from the Webinar is expected to result me in various insights that I can apply in the project management.

    I am looking forward to your response!

    Many Thanks!
