I'm discovering Ctb, and I'm very surprised to note its adequacy in a country, an area so different of the USA.
I wish to try the model in Kabylie, a mountainous area not far from Algiers.
Ctb is very rich, and, perhaps, difficult to manage. For the moment I'm just learning it and need time and work for a project which begins in january 2015;
what kind of help may I expect? Are you interested by the project?
Kind regards . Ahmed

My background is as a Social Worker in the field of healthcare. I recently was hired as a Program Coordinator by RHP for a Network Development grant to expand the existing Community Health Improvement Organization (CHIO) into two neighboring counties. The goal is to bridge provider efforts with community efforts to improve the overall health of the community.
How have you used the Community Tool Box to support your work and make a difference?
Though I have a history of working with medical providers and the communities, approaching and selling providers and community members on a new concept such as the CHIO is new for me. The information in the Community Tool Box has helped reinforce the things I knew and enlightened me on so many ways to approach this. THANK YOU!
