To our GAAPP Community:
In the past month, we have celebrated awareness days for Eczema, World Lung Day, and Urticaria. Thank you to the organizations that joined the GAAPP campaigns and utilized our communication grants! Awareness days, and our coordinated activities, are the best way to share our message with as many people as possible.
World Lung Day is approaching in November, and our Board is preparing to hold a strategic planning meeting in December to review the outstanding work created during the Global Respiratory Summit in September. We look forward to sharing the action plans for GAAPP with you all!

Member Organization Funding Requests
Does your organization have a project or initiative that requires additional funding? GAAPP can support your initiatives and campaigns!
With funding assistance from GAAPP, APAD, a member organization in Panama, conducted a campaign called “Aprende a cuidar tu asma” (Learn to take care of your asthma). The purpose was to educate on the importance of physical activity, sports, and proper medical control to manage asthma. It was carried out in 5 schools for children and adolescents from ages 5 to 17 years old with asthma and allergies.
Funding requests are reviewed on a quarterly basis. For more information and requirements, visit: https://gaapp.org/request-for-project-funding/
