Holly and Andy's Trip to Tunisia

We're back! Holly and I got back last week from our trip to Tunisia, and let me say, it was wicked! We were there on behalf of the American Cancer Society working on a project called, "Travaillons Sans Fumeé" which means work without smoke.

We worked with 20 public health officials, and 7 youth from Tunisia to help businesses in Tunisia go smokefree. We worked with our friend Catherine Laska from Ontario Canada to train the youth on why this is an important issue, and what they can do to influence their peers in Africa. I put together a video of the whole trip which will be up really soon! In the meantime check out the pics!
