Dear GlobeMed at UC Supporters,
We would first like to wish you and your loved ones a happy holiday season! We hope that this letter finds you in happiness and good health.
GlobeMed at UC is partnered with Social Action for Women (SAW), an organization that works to improve the lives of refugees from Burma who have fled to Thailand. By partnering with SAW, we strive to support them in their work to improve education, health, and quality of life for the communities with whom they work. Since our founding, we have been able to raise over $45,000 to fund the Community Health Outreach Project (CHOP) and have been recognized as the Student Organization of the Year for our efforts. We are pushing even harder this year to raise $10,000 more for our partner. We understand this is a huge amount of money to raise in one year, but we are far too driven and dedicated to our cause to be deterred.
Throughout the next year, we plan to finish fundraising for the fourth phase of CHOP, which will be an extension of all three of our previous phases. We want to hold more workshops for more people and include all the topics previously discussed: reproductive health, preventative health, mental health, and personal/dental hygiene. This holiday season, please think of SAW and think of the 5,460 Burmese migrants and children that our project will directly impact. Please consider supporting our cause, be it financially or by simply keeping the Burmese migrants in Thailand in your thoughts during this holiday season. Your contributions allow us to continue to work with SAW and implement sustainable, long-term programs that will help make health a possibility for people who currently have limited or no access to heath care. Any amount that you can donate will be greatly appreciated, no matter how small. Since our students work so closely with SAW’s leaders and workers, you can always be assured that your donations are going directly to where they are needed most.
We are so thankful for you, as your support and dedication to us have continued unrelentingly over the past years. We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have such a generous support network of friends, family, and community members.
Yours in Health,
Juliana Madzia, Sami Nandyal, and the entire GlobeMed at UC Chapter
