WE ARE NOT AN EXCEPTION
 Sofia, October 17-18 2014 BFPA is also not an exception - we actively collaborate with NNHM and work side by side wih them across Bulgaria. At the moment there are more than 150 health mediators working all over the country - from the larger quarters of the bigger cities, to the smalleest rural settlements, for a salary almost as low as the minimum wage, but with professionalism, care and motivation. Fragments of their work can be seen in this video. The poster for the "We are not an exception" campaign - just a few faces of the over 200 roma medical students - doctors, pharmacists, nurses, obstericians, lab workers.... they are not an exception. We are not an exception! We have observed the development of these young people for quite some time. Most of them grew before our eyes. They are not an exception. Look upon them with unprejudiced eyes and if you can, help so that there can be more like them. They are young Roma - medical students, pharmacy students, future obstetricians, nurses and presently - health mediators. They are not an exception, believe, open your senses! See the video for the WE ARE NOT AN EXCEPTION campaign - Roma medical students and mediators fighting the stereotype that sucessful Roma youth are an exception.
