May 2012 Public Health Brigades at Stony Brook



Syed's Message

Thank you for taking time out of your day to visit my fundraising webpage.

The people of Honduras are suffering and need our help. I, with fellow students from Stony Brook University will be joining a relief effort to help in stabilizing areas with proper infrastructure and health education, but to make that happen, money needs to be raised. Please help me in my effort to bring relief to Honduras. Any amount of donation is appreciated.

Thank you,
Syed

Volunteer Activity Description

Stony Brook PHB volunteers spend 7 days in Honduras, improving basic home infrastructure and providing health education to help reduce the incidences of life-threatening, but preventable, diseases in a rural community. With an understanding of the holistic model that focuses on education, community health sustainability and infrastructural development, volunteers first receive a comprehensive introduction to the country\\\'s public health challenges and the Public Health program\\\'s ground-up solution. They will take a tour of the community Public Health is currently working in, introduce themselves to the beneficiary families, and meet with the Basic Sanitation Committee (CSB). Then, working side-by-side with community members and local masons, volunteers construct four infrastructure projects meant to improve the health of the home and surrounding environment: eco-stoves, latrines, pilas (water storage units), and concrete floors. Additionally, as a key component of the program, Stony Brook volunteers collaborate with the Basic Sanitation Committee and local teachers to help provide community-wide education workshops and training, proliferating sanitation and hygiene practices and empowering families with both the knowledge and tools to live healthier lives.
