What do DHF Ambassadors do?
If you are interested in becoming an ambassador, request an invite to the DHF Ambassadors Committee:
http://tudiabetes.com/group/dhfambassadorscommittee
If you were wondering what DHF Ambassadors do, this video explains this role:
* Create, moderate and lead a group by area you are representing. It is possible there is an existing group that you can become the Ambassador for. Ambassadors can be working at the regional or national level (Virtual Embassy).
* Coordinate with dhf staff, Community Promotion and Education Committee and fellow members to have the community represented at local events, health fairs, etc.
* Coordinate distribution of informational material about the things we do in our community, awareness programs, etc. (printed material provided by the foundation, outside USA we may need to arrange for a local printing service to print the materials). We will be needing to raise funds to print more materials.
* Overview distribution of educational material (in schools, hospitals, doctors’ offices, etc.) in coordination with the promotion and education committee and /or area group.
* Identify future opportunities to reach out to more people in your designated area. Identify special education needs in your designated area. Report findings and needs to dhf staff.
* Share with the other Ambassadors learnings and best practices developed per area.
The DHF Ambassador concept and role is evolving and we are defining it as we go with our current ambassadors.

I'm in the Birmingham, Alabama area. Are there already any established groups in this area? If so, could you hook me up?
Thanks,
Amy

Hello Shyam,
Indeed the DHF is about diabetes. It's the Diabetes hands Foundation, a nonprofit group that is responsible for TuDiabetes (and EsTuDiabetes, our sister community in Spanish).
Indeed, we don't have any other members from Nepal: you are the first one, and we are honored to have you here.
Anything you can do to help us get the word out in your country about TuDiabetes would be much appreciated. We do believe it is a resource that offers lots of valuable information and support to people touched by diabetes.

Several of the members from my local support group came from my posting notices about the group on tudiabetes. So this just seemed like a natural fit.

Hi Manny:)
I live in New Jersey and I am about 15 minutes from NYC. I would love to help out in these areas. I am a journalist so spreading the word is my gift to this wonderful foundation. I am also great at marketing. I would love to reach our youth on this illness. Prevention is the key word here.
United we can accomplish a hundred milestones!!!!!!!!
