A potential opportunity for next summer:
Hi,
My name’s Kit Rood, I’m a student in a the Biology department at UW and a member of the University of Washington chapter of Global Public Health Brigades. Global Brigades is an international volunteer organization with the goal of improving equality of life in under-developed countries by igniting the largest student-run social responsibility movement on the planet.
Global Public Health Brigades will be traveling to Honduras June 12th-19th, 2012 to be working in a rural community building water storage units, eco-stoves, concrete floors, and  latrines.Â
If you think there are any students in the Public Health department who may be interested in this opportunity we would really appreciate the following information be forwarded to the Public Health ListServ. Thanks so much for your time!Â
