Mission GlobeMed aims to strengthen the movement for global

health equity by empowering students and communities to work together to improve the health of

people living in poverty around the world.

Vision We envision a world in which health – the ability to not

only survive but thrive – is possible for all people, regardless of where they call home.

We believe every human life has equal worth and every person deserves the chance to thrive. This

belief has drawn together our network of students, communities, and supporters from all walks of life and from every corner of the world. Health for all is within our grasp, but we can only achieve it by

working together.

GlobeMed at Cornell University

september 2010

About Us GlobeMed at Cornell was founded in the fall of 2010 by a group of passionate and dedicated students, determined to make a change in the field of global health. Since then, we have grown to a close-knit group of truly kind spirited and brilliant people. This year, our founding members graduated. While we lost a great group of people, we have gained our first class of GlobeMed at Cornell alumni. We could not be more grateful and humbled by the impact that they have made on our chapter and in our partner community. Our partnership with CEPAIPA (El Centro de Promoción de Atención Integral para Adolescentes) was formed at the same time as our chapter was founded. Our impact can be felt both at Cornell and in La Libertad in our partner community: we have grown from 10 staff members to 35, sent 6 students on GROW trips, raised over $17,000, and won awards from the Center for Engaged Learning + Research at Cornell. As we transition to a new partner, we look forward to building a new relationships and surpassing our goals once again in the 2013-2014 school year.

Our Partnership CEPAIPA

KEY FACT: 75% of adolescents in Santa Elena do not receive regular checkups due to limited financial resources. KEY FACT: Colegio Celleri experienced a spike in teen pregnancies this past school year.

La Libertad, Ecuador Population: 78,000

CEPAIPA: El Centro de Promoción de Atención Integral para Adolescentes

Founded in 2004 CEPAIPA was founded in 2004 by Dra. Alexandra Tamayo, as an initiative to increase access to health care for all people in La Libertad, an area that previously suffered from a severe lack of health care workers and services. Her initiative would both directly bring health services to the community, and indirectly improve health by educating high school students about health issues and engaging them as health educators and agents of change within their own community. CEPAIPA serves as a safe environment in which adolescents can seek medical treatment and counseling, educate themselves about topics that affect youth (STIs, sexual/reproductive health, drug abuse, violence, etc.), and contribute positively to their community by educating others about important health issues. The center facilitates youth music, theater, and dance groups, offers basic physical exams for impoverished children, and provides reduced-cost testing for HIV, STI's, pregnancy, anemia, diabetes, and drugs.

La Libertad is the largest city in the province of Santa Elena, Ecuador's western most province. La Libertad hosts many of the province's financial, cultural, administrative, and commercial institutions. There are hospitals and health centers in La Libertad, but a lack of health awareness combined with a low average household income has kept disease prevention/treatment a low cultural and financial priority.

Our Project Testing Laboratory for HIV and other illnesses

Impact Area: Communicable Disease Prevention

Why communicable disease prevention?

In La Libertad, 75% of adolescents do not have access to regular physical exams due to financial constraints. At the same time, the community has relatively high rates of HIV, STI's, teen pregancy, anemia, and diabetes compared to the rest of the country. In order to combat HIV, and protect the general health of the community, teens need to have access to quick, low-cost testing for these diseases and conditions. The first step to treatment is testing. GlobeMed at Cornell University aims to fund a new testing laboratory where youth can recieve rapid, low-cost tests for HIV, STI's, pregnancy, anemia, and diabetes.

Supporting the construction and equipping of a testing laboratory !In the 2012-2013 school year GlobeMed at Cornell funded a Rapid HIV Testing lab for CEPAIPA and the surrounding community. This is our second year funding the project, as we wanted to ensure that CEPAIPA would have access to the funds necessary to create a reliable and sustainable laboratory for the area. The biggest addition to the lab this year was a hematological counter, allowing the lab to perform full blood count analysis on the patients. Such an analysis allows for a more accurate indication of the severity of HIV, and aids in many other diagnoses. In total, the completed laboratory will cost $12,500. GlobeMed at Cornell has contributed $13,000 to the laboratory project over the past two years, and we are happy to say that we will be able to complete the laboratory by the end of 2013.

$13,000 During only our past 3 years at Cornell we have managed to raised over$13,000 dollars for our partner organization CEPAIPA in the support of STI & AIDS treatment & education and youth community outreach in La Libertad, Ecuador.

Strip for Solidarity April 7, 2013 This past spring semester we held our 2nd annual “Strip for Solidarity” 5K Run Fundraiser. The idea behind the race is that at points throughout the race course, participants will “strip” off extra clothing in solidarity of AIDS research. The stripped off clothing is then donated to a local thrift store. This year’s race fed off the hype from last year’s and raised even more money! Through race participation fees we raised $1,500 and had over 100 racers sign up! We look forward to continuing the tradition next year!

Apples for Education January 19, 2012 We  sold  delicious  autumnal  treats  to  support  health  educa2on  programs  with  CEPAIPA!  Our  mouth-­‐watering  caramel  apples  and  autumnal  baked  goods  brought  out  over  150  supporters,  including  our  school  mascot,  Touchdown  the  Bear!  We  have  made  this  a  staple  event  for  our  chapter  because  Ithaca  is  filled  with  apple  orchards  where  our  staff  members  can  go  to  pick  the  apples  themselves.  

Highlights from the year

Campaigns

GlobalhealthU was particularly interesting and exciting this year! Each meeting we generated some fabulous discussions, broadening everyone’s views and opinions on health and human rights. In fact, many people claim that globalhealthU is their favorite part of the meeting. We especially enjoyed the games/activities and numerous videos associated with each topic. It makes the issues feel very relevant and real. Personally, my favorite track was Track 3: Does everybody have the same rights? I loved discussing and dissecting each challenge to the idea of universal human rights. And that’s what makes globalhealthU such a vital part of this organization. We need to do more than just help and teach; we ourselves need to learn and grow.

globalhealthU globalhealthU is GlobeMed’s signature year-long global health curriculum. This student-designed

and driven program equips students with the critical thinking skills that will inform a life of

leadership for global health.

2012-2013 CURRICULUM Expanding the Dialogue on Health and Human Rights

KEY QUESTIONS Why do human

rights exist?

Is health a human right?

Who has more

rights than others?

How are rights influenced by one’s

environment?

How do we translate human rights into

action?

A note from the ghU coordinator…

Service-learning Showcase Panel event – 4/19/2013

GlobeMed and a few other service-learning type organizations on campus all put together a Service-Learning Showcase in which we each displayed what our causes were and what we did as a chapter. Then, the Engaged Learning + Research Office at our university awarded the top 3 organizations in terms of sustainability and commitment. We are proud to say that GlobeMed did in fact win one of these awards!

Highlights from the year globalhealthU

TOTAL # OF CHAPTER MEMBERS: 40 # OF COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS: 06 # OF HOURS VOLUNTEERED WITH LANSING WOMEN’S RESIDENTIAL CENTER: 200 Within our chapter, we do several community building events so members of the chapter can get to know one another and in turn, work well together. We do several dinners and a chapter retreat so that everyone can come together and discuss how to improve our chapter. As for service with local partners, small teams work together to create a sexual health curriculum and then we go to the Residential Center together to teach. Even though our staff comes from a variety of backgrounds and studies, our staff is very close knit and loves getting together for a study session or to just hang out. Our local partner for the fall was Lansing Women's Residential Center. This is a medium security correctional center for girls ages 12-17 convicted of crimes. We created a sexual health curriculum and went to the center to teach the girls. We hope to start connecting with MacCormick, the boys facility where there is higher security and a larger need for this kind of volunteer work. We plan to start working there in the coming semester.

Community Building Through service and team-building events, community and camaraderie is fostered around global health and social justice within GlobeMed chapters,

the GlobeMed network and surrounding communities.

# OF GROW INTERNS: 02 LENGTH OF STAY: 4 weeks WORK DESCRIPTION: Our work consisted of four major parts. First, we worked to complete the testing laboratory in Colegio Celleri that GlobeMed at Cornell has been working to fund for the past two years. This involved drawing up a contract with the school administrators at Celleri, ordering equipment, and organization the lab. It also involved drafting a qualitative survey and implementing a better filing system to monitor and evaluate the lab's impact on the health of the community. Second, we worked to promote the lab, spread awareness of CEPAIPA, and encourage preventative health by giving presentations to all of the classes in Celleri. We also gave newspaper, television, and radio interviews. Third, we collected photo and video footage of the lab and CEPAIPA's other activities to use as promotional material for GlobeMed at Cornell. Finally, we worked to strengthen our partnership with CEPAIPA by participating in youth group meetings, activities, and performances.

This was a priceless experience- to be able to do

work on the ground with CEPAIPA and to unveil the laboratory with them was

amazing. The students involved with CEPAIPA come from some tough situations but are all so talented and determined, despite their circumstances. They are a true inspiration.– Nicole

World Day of Social Justice

GLOBEMED AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY joined 49 other GlobeMed chapters across the nation in a network-wide commemoration of the 5rd Annual World Day of Social Justice on February 20, 2013, by asking students, professors, and community members on campus an open-ended, thought provoking question relating to social justice.

!OUR QUESTION

What is social justice to you? !BEHIND THE SCENES: We asked students to share their thoughts on social justice: what is it, where it stems from, what their role in it is, and what everyone deserves. We chose this simple question because it forces people to look at some of their most fundamental beliefs about not just health, but life as a whole. We hoped it would provide answers that might help refocus every aspect of our groups operations. Sometimes it helped to realign your goals to take a step back and look at what you truly believe to be social justice. What is social justice to you?

“INJUSTICE anywhere is a THREAT to JUSTICE everywhere.” MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed February 20th as World Day of Social Justice in 2007. Observation of WDSJ supports efforts of the international

community in poverty eradication, the promotion of full employment and decent work, gender equity and access to social well-being and justice for all.

We asked over 30 people at Cornell University, here’s how they responded >>>

Our Future GlobeMed at Cornell University

Friends of GlobeMed at Cornell,:

Our first official GROW trip is currently being held (summer 2013) in La

Libertad, Ecuador, with two members of our chapter assisting CEPAIPA. We have big plans for the 2013-2014 school year: increasing membership, making our 5K

even bigger and better, having more members attend the Hilltops and the

Summit, and increasing community among members. We hope to

strengthen our relationship with our local partner and to send even more

people to participate in GROW next summer to strengthen our relationship

with our international partner. We know that what we do with GlobeMed is

truly important and we want the world to know that. Join us in growing our

chapter and CEPAIPA by donating to our Global Giving page! Check out the Stay Connected page of the report to

learn about how to keep in touch with our movements over the next year.

Yours in solidarity,

Audrey Fotouhi and Christina Boada 2012-2013 Co-Presidents
