1. GlobeMed and Grassroots

   By Rachel Berkowitz (Volunteer)

    Communities know their health needs, the approaches that can work, and the community members themselves who can help see it all through. GlobeMed supports grassroots community-based health initiatives through chapter and organization partnerships. Seeing GlobeMed further the crucial but at times overlooked necessity of ground-up work has permanently affected the way I understand global health now, and how I will approach global health work in the future. This is honestly one of the single most important ideological-switches that has occured during my college career, and it is intimately tied to my work with GlobeMed and health partnerships.

2. global connections, global change

   By Peter Luckow (Volunteer)

   i have had the incredible opportunity of visiting several of GlobeMed's partners in places like Rwanda and Detroit, Michigan.  at each of the organizations, the partnership with GlobeMed was deeply valued and you could see the impact that students had made through supporting small but vital health projects.  more noticeable though was the excitement of the partners in working with a community of undergraduate studnets, often half-way across the world.  it is through these global connections that both the students and the partners are strengthened and encouraged.  for the achievement of global health equity, the movement must be strongly rooted in a foundation of solidarity and compassion.  GlobeMed is playing a vital role in this movement through building these connections between communities of students with grassroots health organization around the world.
