MEN'S DIALOGUE
July 2019
PMF organized a Men’s Dialogue which was held at Mseleni. The event gave men an opportunity to share their experiences and to teach one another about the types of CANCER that are likely to affect men. Those who attended agreed on the need to reach out to as many people as possible since men are the ones who are mostly stubborn and dismissive. This will be an annual event to attract as many as practically possible.
