The course is 5-5.5 hours long depending on how many questions the attendees have. The course is organised by the Greek charity Pnoe ( http://www.pnoe. gr/ ) who equips intensive aid wards and helps children during that difficult time and through rehabilitation. The trainer is Patty Dulligan-Varelas, a nurse, an English native speaker and a La Leche League mum with many years of experience and 4 children of her own so she has had plenty of hands-on experience!
Payment must be made in advance as we need to confirm your attendance. Patty has been let down in the past when people have promised to attend but failed to turn up and she is coming all the way from Varibobi in the north.
The price has been confirmed at 40 euros for the course (in advance) and 5 euros for the venue (Friends' Corner members don't pay this). All proceeds from the course go to the charity Pnoe and it is a very worthy cause! See: http://www.pnoe. gr/default. asp
Please call or email Patty to book your place: (pattyvarelas@ yahoo.com, 2102435036)
