Volunteer Activity Message

Public Health volunteers spend 7 days 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 programs 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 five infrastructure projects meant to improve the health of the home and surrounding environment: eco-stoves, latrines, showers, pilas (water storage units), and concrete floors. Additionally, as a key component of the program, 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.

Saying "It is my pleasure to donate towards Amy Wang's participation in the Global Nicaragua project.
I have known Amy for 5 years. Her constant drive to better herself and help others is outstanding and puts her in that 'upper echelon.' As her tennis coach, I must add her on court enthusiastic spirit was exceptional without ever a word of negativity.
I am sure Notre Dame will be proud to graduate and reference her.
Thank you,
