• I have to say, in turn, that I studied health care
management course [which] provides some professional
development for country leaders every year. This way I
studied behavior change, project development, etc. But
first time in my life because of your course I, finally, got
clear understanding of certain terms and concepts such
as mission, vision, volunteer... I used to think that
because of language and cultural differences I will never
ever understand them appropriately. Now I feel that I
was wrong... I believe that now I can use these concepts
in my work. So thanks for your course so much! (Russia)
