Dear friends,
Over the past ten years, we've been grateful to build a network of courageous young leaders who know that change is possible when people work together in a pursuit larger than themselves. This change has been reflected in the ways our network of 6,000+ students, alumni, and partners have brought their critical thinking, cultural competency, and collaboration skills into whatever sector they work in, ranging from global health fieldwork to education to policy.
This summer, we caught up with some of our community members and heard about the skills, knowledge, and relationships they gained during their time in GlobeMed. Learn more about the powerful stories from within our network by checking out our Impact Report, which highlights 10 stories from across our 10 years, or by reading the excerpts below.
"What I can say about the uniqueness of GlobeMed is that it is faithful. The community can dictate the projects they want to propose." - Peter Mokaya, Resource Mobilizer at Ungano-Tena (U-Tena)
"GlobeMed has taught me a lot, not just about global health but about being a part of an organization that truly lives, breathes, and sleeps its values." - Christina Amutah, GlobeMed at Howard University '16
“GlobeMed provides a platform to think critically about the state of global health and the role of young people in social change. It takes our education from a theoretical framework to application.” - Madison Little, GlobeMed at Rutgers University '16
“A lesson that I’ve learned from GlobeMed is to really focus on social justice, to be critical about what that means, and to be sincere in both what you do and the way that you implement.” - Kalin Werner, GlobeMed at UCLA '12
“I believe that through working together, students and my staff both gain knowledge. I see them become more confident, brighter, and more knowledgeable.” - Sedtha Long, Founder of Build Your Future Today
It's been a great ten years. We're looking forward to how we can grow even bigger and better together in the next ten years!
With gratitude,
Caroline Nguyen
