This year has been quite busy for GlobeMed’s CU Boulder Chapter. From holding the Benefit Dinner to putting on the annual Colorado GlobeMed Conference, this year has been full of successful, fun events that have brought the community together with a goal of achieving global health equity. However, this year has also held a fair share of setbacks. Our local and partner community suffered a great loss this year from the devastating Nepal earthquakes. In light of this, our GROW trip was canceled this summer. As a GlobeMed team, we have worked hard this year to come together to raise funds so that Himalayan Healthcare can continue providing for the communities in Nepal.
Thanks to your generous donations, we raised over $18,000 to go towards Himalayan Healthcare in their efforts to provide education, health care, and earthquake relief to the populations that they serve in rural Nepal.
Himalayan Healthcare is currently working to provide earthquake relief while also working on ensuring stability for their communities. Efforts are being put toward providing secure food and medicines for a year while also providing secure shelter until after monsoon season when the communities can begin rebuilding homes. Additionally, HHC has been working on redoing all of the trails that lead to the villages so that continued relief can be provided efficiently.
With the school year over, the new executive board is working on ways to make next year even more successful. Through keeping in close contact with Himalayan Healthcare, we are continuously working to support them in all that they do. GlobeMed members at CU Boulder consistently strive to become better global citizens while helping those around them and are using the summer to do just that.
Thank you so much for all of your contributions this year. Our GlobeMed chapter could not be successful without your support; thank you for your continued belief in and sponsorship of a goal of global health equity. Your contributions continue to help improve the lives of those halfway around the world with education, health, and a higher quality of life.
In Solidarity,
Kianna
