Mr. Matthew Manfredi from Long Island, joins SDG Agency SZ Podcast to promote Movember @SWIS Shenzhen.  

The Sustainable Development Goal 3 aspires to ensure health and well-being for all, including a bold commitment to end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and other communicable diseases by 2030. It also aims to achieve universal health coverage, and provide access to safe and effective medicines and vaccines for all. 

As part of SWIS' commitment to raise awareness of SDG 3, we participate in the yearly Movember Charity Movement.  

What is Movember? 

Movember is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as Anxiety, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide. The Movember Foundation runs the Movember charity event, housed at Movember.com.The goal of Movember is to "change the face of men's health." (Wikipedia) 

Movember at SWIS - Quiz Night  

Join the SWIS Movember Team and help raise awareness about Men's Health. We have a quiz night in aid of Movember on the 20th of November at 6.30pm with several teams already signed up including a team from Shenwai Longgang International School.

Movember Walk - Parents/Staff Mr.Justin Barrett, while seriously struggling to grow a mustache,  has proposed a walk with staff/parents along the bay on the 28th November at 6am to raise awareness about the charity as well as cash. We have discussed this idea with the PTA and hope to make it happen. More information to follow. 

 If you can help in any way or wish to donate to this worthy charity, please get in touch with any of the MO Men @SWIS.  Next Week we will be speaking to Allan Moore about his motivation for getting involvement in Movember @SWIS.  Enjoy the show.  SDG Agency SZ
