“Love is not patronizing and charity isn't about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same -- with charity you give love, so don't just give money but reach out your hand instead.”
― Mother Teresa
My name is James Easler and I am a senior at the University of Toledo. I am pursuing a major in Biology with a minor in Chemistry and a concentration in Pre-Medicine. I plan on going to medical school and eventually becoming an Orthopedic Surgeon. I am very passionate about the healthcare and wellness. This passion traces back 8 years to an football injury I experienced in the 7th grade. When visiting my Orthopedic Surgeon, I was fascinated by the movement and structure of the human body. Ever since then I knew what I wanted to do with my life. Going on a mission trip has always been a dream of mine and Global Medical Brigades offers me the chance to make this dream come true. I will have the opportunity to share my passion with people in need.

About Us

University of Toledo is a chapter of Global Public Health Brigades, an international movement of university students working to improve health conditions in the developing world. Through an evidence-based model, we work alongside local community members to build projects that tangibly improve lives in Honduras, Nicaragua and Ghana. Volunteers work with local masons and families to build eco-stoves, latrines, concrete floors, showers, and/or water storage units. To ensure long-term sustainability and maintenance, the Public Health program team trains and empowers local community leaders in the formation of a Basic Sanitation Committee. The Basic Sanitation Committee is responsible for carrying out in-home assessments and monitoring the status of the projects.

In conjunction with our Public Health Program, Global Brigades also supports communities with healthcare, economic development and clean water projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring.
