🖥️ We extend our gratitude to @PureEarthNow for empowering us with essential knowledge through #onlinetraining on 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦-𝘉𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦 𝘈𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘙𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘥 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵 𝘚𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨, which was conducted last week.
The two training sessions provided us with practical tools to identify, assess, and address lead contamination in our communities. The hands-on approach has strengthened our capacity to take proactive steps in mitigating the risks associated with #lead exposure.
A big thank you to Alfonso Rodríguez Pinilla and Aelita Sargsyan for their expert guidance and interactive sessions, equipping our team with the tools to take action in the fight against #leadpoisoning. We are more committed than ever to driving impactful change in #India and working towards a lead-free, healthier future for all.✨

Wonderful to see our colleagues in Indonesia make important progress toward a large-scale blood lead level testing program. The information provided from this program should help the gov't and its partners prioritize and address key exposure sources and protect millions of kids.
