Dear Colleagues, The World Hall launch was not entirely with out a glitch. For about an hour voting and other changes were not accepted by the system. The problem has been fixed. If you received a blank page as a response, please redo the action. The system is now working. We are looking forward to the ongoing activity. Please find the system at http://www.worldhall.org/breastfeeding If there are any problems please let us know by sending an email to [log in to unmask] . There are students standing by to fix any difficulties.
