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.

About GlobeMed

Presidents’ Message Globemed at university of notre dame

Dear Friends of GlobeMed at Notre Dame,

Thank you so much for your continued support of GlobeMed at Notre Dame during the 2012-2013 academic year. In our second year as an organization, we more than doubled our previous year’s fundraising total from $3,000 to $8,000, increased our membership and presence on campus, and most importantly, strengthened our relationship with our partner, The Population Education and Development Association (PEDA).

This year was full of so many events, memories, discussions, debates, and literal heavy lifting. Our members hosted a concession stand for the Notre Dame vs. Stanford Football Game, bought and sold Christmas sweaters for our Ugly Christmas Sweater Sale, reached out to family and friends to support our Individual Giving Campaign, went door to door selling Spring Break tanks—and then lugged the tanks in boxes across campus! We also had lively globalhealthU discussion on issues in Global Health and Development, such as maternal mortality, the Girl Effect, and health care provision in US prisons. We debated what is most important in delivering health care, and looked at issues from different perspectives. We look forward to our upcoming GROW internship, and know we will learn so much from our team when they return.

This report summarizes our year, quantitatively and qualitatively, but we hope that the intangibles also shine through. We couldn't have done any of this without the effort, dedication, and passion of our members and supporters, so for that we are eternally grateful. Thank you again for your support and your encouragement. We look forward to continuing the journey and growing the movement!

In Solidarity, Jessica Puricelli, Jennifer Perugini, and Genevieve Gill-Wiehl Co-Presidents 2012-2013

August 2011

About Us In 2011, a Notre Dame student--interested in becoming more involved in learning about issues in global health and taking action against inequalities--discovered an impressive student-led organization called GlobeMed. Inspired by their commitment and their innovation, and wanting to harness the power of the Notre Dame student body, she gathered like-minded individuals and founded GlobeMed at Notre Dame. Since then, GlobeMed at Notre Dame has raised over $11,000 towards Malaria education and prevention in rural Laos through their partnership with The Population Education and Development Association.

Our Partnership Population education and development association

KEY FACT: Laos is ranked 181st in health expenditure (US is 1st).

KEY FACT: 70% of the population in Laos is at risk for malaria.

Vientiane, Laos Population:

Colonized by the French in 1893, and occupied by Japanese troops during World War II, Laos was finally granted full independence in 1954. However, there was great political tension between the communists, neutralists and rightists in the newly independent Laos. A civil war gripped the nation until 1975, when the Lao People's Democratic Republic was established. During the Vietnam War in the 1970s, the United States heavily bombed Laos in an attempt to destroy the Ho Chi Minh Trail and draw out the Northern Vietnamese communists. Roughly 30% of bombs dropped failed to detonate and unexploded ordnance has caused over 13,000 deaths since 1975—and remains a major concern in Laos. Roughly 85% of the population lives in rural areas and there is a very high risk of contracting an infectious disease such as Malaria or Tuberculosis throughout the country. This risk is exacerbated by poor public health infrastructure and sanitation systems.

Population Education and Development Association

Founded in 2001

Our partner organization was founded in August 2001 as the Youth Fellowship for Action on Development. When nongovernmental organizations were approved by the government in 2004, the group was reorganized as The Promotion for Education and Development. They have recently changed their name to The Population Education and Development Association to reflect their community based approach. PEDA's vision is "to promote education to reduce socioeconomic and health impacts in vulnerable communities" and their mission is "to promote local expertise to become key resources to strengthen and develop better human resource quality within the community based upon participating approaches" and thereby effectively "reduce socioeconomic and health impacts to reach development stability." PEDA specializes in areas of sexual reproductive health, malaria prevention, tuberculosis prevention, HIV/AIDS/STI prevention and human trafficking prevention. They also have livestock and agriculture programs to improve life within their communities.

Our Project POPULATION EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION

Impact Area: Communicable Disease Prevention

Why Communicable Disease Prevention?

70% of the population in Laos is at risk for malaria, and the risk of serious complications is even higher in rural villages where there is limited knowledge regarding the symptoms, treatment, or prevention of malaria. Of primary concern are people who live in remote areas, particularly poor, marginalized populations, including ethnic minority groups, migrants and forest workers/ goers, who still remain at risk of malaria. In order to deliver effective malaria prevention and control to this population, a shift from facility-based to community based approach is needed.

GlobeMed at Notre Dane aims to raise $8,000 to fund a Malaria Education Campaign in ten remote Lao villages.

PEDA's Behavior Change Communication approach uses a community based outreach approach that utilizes educational materials and peer educators to increase community knowledge and prevent severe illness or death from malaria. Currently, GlobeMed at Notre Dame is aiming to raise $8,000 to fund a malaria educational campaign that will teach vulnerable communities in ten rural villages surrounding Vientiane, Laos the symptoms of malaria, the transmission modes, the importance of seeking treatment, the proper malaria health care facility to visit, and the impact of bed nets for prevention. The goal is to have 70% of the target community members to have a better knowledge of malaria, in order that its spread be prevented and controlled. This will be assessed by interviews and surveys of community members at different time intervals after the campaigns.

Hi! Our names are Mike and Rachel, and we really enjoyed coordinating globalhealthU for our chapter's first full year! The slower pace let us use one or two of the awesome ghU resources with the whole group at each meeting, and still have ample time for some great small group discussions! Although we all pretty much agreed that health was a human right (shocking, right?), our staff had a lot of different ideas about what exactly that entailed and how to deliver it! The big activities helped present multiple viewpoints about things, and small group allowed our staff to draw from their own awesome experiences, and led to some very fruitful discussions, with everyone participating! GhU helped our chapter to understand some of the difficult issues and decisions organizations like our partner have to face all the time!

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?

TOTAL # OF CHAPTER MEMBERS: 28

# OF COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS: 05 GlobeMed at Notre Dame values the input of all staff members and a close community. At our staff retreat, everyone brainstormed events for the semester, speed dated, and tied themselves into a human knot. We also had other bonding events during the year for chapter members to get to know each other outside of meetings!

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.

GROW Internship

Through Grassroots On-site Work (GROW) internships, students build capacity of their partner organization, engage in mutual learning,

and ensure long-term stability of their

partnership.

# OF GROW INTERNS: 03 LENGTH OF STAY: 3 weeks WORK DESCRIPTION: Our team will spend much of our first internship working to build PEDA’s organizational capacities in a number of areas including proposal writing, project design and management, monitoring and evaluation, and English skills. Some of our specific duties will involve updating and maintaining the website, helping to develop and edit project proposals, assisting in writing project progress reports and annual reports. We will also help build the research skills of the PEDA technical staff and assist in strengthening other areas of institutional capacity as necessary. We expect our work will help expand PEDA’s ability to impact their community.

The spring semester was hectic as we rushed to find

funding for our trip to Laos, but now that the funding is

secured, I have enjoyed learning as much as I can

about the culture and customs of this

country to prepare for our trip. – Erin Garfield, c/o

World Day of Social Justice

GLOBEMED AT NOTRE DAME 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

Where does change come from? BEHIND THE SCENES: As students hoping to make a difference in the world, we started with the quote, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." We then asked ourselves--where does this change come from, and how can we promote it? We then shortened this question to "Where does change come from" in order to leave the responses open to interpretation. We were excited by the responses we received from each other and from the campus community!

“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 22 people at University of Notre Dame, here’s how they responded >>>

Where does change come from?

World Day of Social Justice

I absolutely loved my first year as a part of Globe Med at Notre Dame, and the Summit provided the perfect finish – a culmination of all that we discussed and achieved as a club throughout the year as well as a motivation to keep learning, growing, and connecting. It was wonderful getting to know members of other chapters, exchanging ideas, and learning from each other’s experiences. The panel discussions and keynote speakers were inspiring and thought-provoking, challenging us to act on our convictions and reminding us that our actions really can be powerful. I can’t wait to return next year!.— Claire Brady, c/o 2015

2013 DELEGATES: Claire Brady, Rachel Chisausky, Michael Diaz, Genevieve Gill-Wiehl, Liam Kane

The annual GlobeMed Global Health Summit brings together university students from across the nation for three days of intensive lectures and workshops with representatives from

grassroots global health organizations and a range of experts.

2013 Summit The student momentum

Our Future GlobeMed at university of notre dame

"GlobeMed meetings helped me listen to and

understand so many different angles of the

global health discussion, and working as ghU

co-coordinator really helped me to develop

my skills at facilitating heartfelt and open

discussion with my peers, rather than

controlling it! I know I'll use these lessons in

my future ALL THE TIME!!!” – Rachel Chisausky, c/o 2013

GlobeMed at Notre Dame is thrilled to be entering our third year as a chapter. We grew immensely during our sophomore 2012-2013 campaign by increasing our membership, doubling our fundraising total from the previous year, and planning our first ever GROW Internship for the summer of 2013. Based on this strong foundation, we are convinced that our 2013-2014 campaign will be our biggest year yet. We look forward to learning more from our GROW team about our partner’s work on the ground in Laos, hosting our second annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Sale and Football Concession Stand (among other campaigns), and growing closer both within the chapter and the larger South Bend area. As we enter this year, we are placing a premium on community building. We hope to organize monthly service events with a local partner in South Bend and build relationships among chapter members through dinners and documentary watches so members can get to know each other outside of GlobeMed meetings. We also hope to partner with other campus organizations and institutes for fundraising and awareness events. All of this would not be possible without our dedicated members and friends of GlobeMed at Notre Dame. Please continue to support our mission by visiting www.razoo. com/globemedatnotredame.
