Oregon State Public Health Sept 2012 Honduras



Will's Message

Hi! Thanks for checking out our donation website for the 2012 Public Health Brigades at OSU, we are going down for our humanitarian trip September 10-16th. We will be working with a rural Honduran community in education of public health and improving simple infrastructures such as concrete floors, latrines, and rain catchers and purifiers. I've also been given an awesome chance at a leadership position at the PHB@OSU as the Logistics Officer. Thanks for your donations and let me know if I can help you out: (360)920-5831

Volunteer Activity Description

Public Health 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 and rainwater harvesters. Additionally, as a key component of the program, Public Health 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.
