Jan 04	Volunteer Activity: Brandeis Public Health Brigade January 2015 Honduras

Brandeis Public Health Brigade January 2015 Honduras

End Date: Jan 10, 2015 12:00 AM

Volunteer Activity Message

BU 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 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 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, Brown 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 "Good Luck Ciara. I admire what you are doing to help those who don't have the means and ability to do these things themselves. I hope that the efforts put forth there will teach the residents to continue to build upon what they've learned and make their living conditions healthier and safer. "
