Jan 12	Volunteer Activity: January 2014 Columbia Public Health Brigades

January 2014 Columbia Public Health Brigades

End Date: Jan 18, 2014 12:00 AM

Volunteer Activity Message

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 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 "I am so happy to help support organizations like Columbia Public Health Brigades. It is a dream of mine to one day work in underprivileged areas educating the residents on simple health practices. For the time being, I am glad to fund others in their own mission trips. Best of luck in Honduras!
