“The REAL Awards is a first-of-its-kind, global awards platform designed to develop greater respect and appreciation for the lifesaving care that health workers provide in the U.S. and around the world. Through this effort, we aim to increase awareness and understanding of the universal and urgent need for more trained and supported health workers every where.’- Save The Children
I nominated Dr. Sophia Webster whom I recently interviewed for this blog, for taking her medical knowledge and ability to reach remote communities as a pilot and setting out to raise awareness for maternal health, share her expertise with other community health-care workers and deliver life saving supplies in the areas that need it most.
Is there a Heath-Care worker who you would like to nominate for this award? Today is your last chance! Starting September 23, 2013 the American public was asked to visit www.theREALawards.com to nominate and vote for inspiring U.S.-based and global health workers making a difference in their communities and beyond. The nomination period will be followed bya
public, online voting period for the US nominees and in January 2014, all REAL Awards honorees will be announced. REAL Awards trophy presentations will take place in April 2014.
I wrote this post as part of The Global Team of 200, a highly specialized group of members of Mom Bloggers for Social Good that concentrates on issues involving women and girls, children, world hunger and maternal health.
