Moon Time Book release

A group of AFNA volunteers under the leadership of Mrs. Ranju Sarma translated the book “Moon time" to Assamese as a part of AFNA’s one of the key initiatives to focus on better Healthcare in Assam. The book is based on menstrual hygiene and is targeted towards teenaged girls and the information is presented in an easily readable conversational format. The book was originally published in English by Spherule Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Maharashtra, India. Assam Foundation of North America (AFNA) in partnership with Indian Medical Association (IMA), Assam Branch, and Samagra Shiksha, Kamrup, jointly released the book "Moon Time" at the Guwahati Press Club. This project was conceived as a pilot project to easily disseminate knowledge on menstruation which is an important topic to discuss and educate young women. The strategic partnership among the three organizations - AFNA, IMA and Samagra Shiksha, Kamrup - is geared towards leveraging the strengths of each organization to propagate the much needed understanding and awareness of menstrual hygiene among teenage girls.
