Alliance’s first module will be drawn on the last week.

We invite you all to contribute by sharing your experiences and knowledge on this theme. Illustrative

And don’t forget that many of us we are from non English speaking countries, so we should don’t worry for mistakes that can be made when contributing. For those
who may have problems with downloading the documents, please let me know, so we can find an
alternative way to send them to you.
