HBS International
Awards
2011
With the month of August approaching, HBS
International grants every year honors and international recognition through its Awards and Decorations.
HBS International was born on the Web in August of 2005, and this fifth annual presentation of Decorations completes six years of extensive
progress.
There is an international community of people represented by the Original Website of the Harry Benjamin Syndrome, created
by Charlotte Goiar with the aim of creating a worldwide pioneering impetus for the social, medical, and legal recognition of this condition.
HBS International has evolved into its present form through international teamwork, leading to full and equal medical rights
and social development of people born with Harry Benjamin Syndrome both in Europe and the rest of the world.
