MHI and Deakin University collaboration progress

Over the past three years, MHI's work has been developed and expanded through a partnership with Deakin University's Faculty of Health. One major activity of this collaboration is Timor's first Tobacco Use Prevention programs, initiated and led by MHI staff member Thomas Lopes.  Thomas undertook study of English for academic purposes at Deakin in 2014, and then continued his learning with a subject in a Bachelor of Health Promotion, studied on-line from Lospalos in 2015. MHI acknowledges significant support for this program from the Geelong community, particularly Friends of Vicqueque.

Report of Deakin's work in collaboration with MHI, and plans for 2016 available here.

MHI welcomes donations to enable this important work to continue:
