Funds needed for VI Alzheimer’s Association to conduct training

Director of CIL, Ms Simone T.

We also want to support brain health,” Ms Monsanto said.

The CIL Director also said she was “amazed” by the large number of persons who supported the Charity 5K Run/Walk and was especially thrilled to see the support of the RVIPF.
