The FASD Task Team invites you to mark the eleventh anniversary of International Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Day.

The focus this year is on FASD Ambassadors. Twenty schools across the Peninsula will each be invited to send two students and a teacher to become FASD Ambassadors in their own schools. They will engage with their peers on the dangers of drinking alcohol during pregnancy.

The learners will also interact with Take-Away Theatre during a performance of “Liefdeskind” which highlights the dynamics of FASD.
