15 THANK YOU

Friends, family and fellow GlobeMedders, No matter which side of the political fence you lie on, this is clearly one of the most polarized moments in our country’s history. In an election year, it seems as if America can’t agree on anything, whether it be healthcare, our role in foreign conflicts, or economic policy. As students during such a time, we are often faced with a simple yet scary question: Can we change anything? For our chapter, and especially us as Co-presidents, GlobeMed has provided the answer: a resounding “yes.” Over the past year we have sent $8,700 to our partner, Dios es Amor, which has funded more than 1,000 individual clinic visits for the residents of Las Antillas. For these patients and everyone else affected by DEA’s projects, we have been able to make a difference. Every day Mili and her coworkers in Peru work to improve the lives of those in the communities they serve. Through our partnership, we have been able to make a difference in the world. As GlobeMed at Vanderbilt continues to gain support on campus and in Nashville, we hope to leverage this support to inspire others to work for global health equity and social justice. During a time when the most powerful people in this country are divided, it is important as students to know that things can change. This has been the most important lesson from our time as Co-presidents. Regardless of where life takes us, we will know that change is well within our grasp. In the hope for a better tomorrow, Joey Starnes and Tyler Merrill 2011-2012 Co-Presidents

GlobeMed at Vanderbilt University

september 2010

GlobeMed at Vanderbilt was founded in the fall of 2010 and was one of thirteen new chapters that year. In the summer of 2010 GlobeMed at Vanderbilt was partnered with Dios es Amor, located mainly in Lima, Peru. DEA seeks to improve the education, nutrition, and health of surrounding communities in any way possible. Our aim over the past two years has been to help fund monthly health campaigns in Las Antillas, a rural area in Peru that has not received consistent healthcare since an earthquake in 2007. In addition to funding these campaigns, we have helped to fund the initial stages of a basic health clinic in this area as a means of providing a more permanent healthcare solution. Since our chapter started in 2010 we have recruited twenty-nine dedicated members, raised over $13,000 for our partner project, and sent five members to Peru on two different GROW trips.

ABOUT US

OUR PARTNER [Dios Es Amor]

KEY FACT: Approximately 5.3 million people in Peru have no access to safe water and Another 9.2 million have no access to improved sanitation services.

ABOUT DIOS DE AMOR

FOUNDED IN 1970

GlobeMed at Vanderbilt's partnership with Dios es Amor began in the summer of 2010. The organization was originally created by an Italian couple to provide a home for orphans in Lima. When the couple grew too old to manage the organization, they turned it over to Mili and her husband Ignacio who both had a vision to expand the organization. The mission of Dios es Amor became to positively influence human development in the community with focuses in education, empowerment, health, and environmental sustainability. Now they not only house a few young boys but also provide healthcare to various communities in and around Lima, meals and after school tutoring for children in the community of La Tablada, run a recycling program that engages the community, and have various programs to improve the self-esteem of the elderly in the area.

WORKS IN LIMA, PERU POPULATION: 7,600,000

Peru, and Lima in particular, faces an overall lack of affordable and effective healthcare. While there is a public insurance program for Peru’s poorest residents, a lack of healthcare facilities renders this useless for many citizens. Whether in poorer districts of Lima or in rural areas, there is a shortage of clinics and qualified medical professionals. Compounding this problem, transportation is expensive in the city and long distance travel is not an option for many individuals living in rural settings. This leads to a reflection of socioeconomic disparities in healthcare disparities. The poorest people of Peru rarely, if ever, receive adequate medical care. Even when clinics are present, they are often understaffed and have poorly stocked pharmacies. This creates a cycle in which doctors do not want to work at these poorly supported facilities leading to them being even more poorly stocked and staffed.

KEY FACT: 34.8% of Peruvians live under the poverty line.

OUR VERY VALUED EXPERIENCE WITH GLOBEMED As we started our relationship with the students of Vanderbilt University, we knew we would be able to communicate regularly and closely with them. We can remember the first message from their founder, Amanda Sarpolis, whom we remember with affection and who, in spite of the differences in language, culture, and way of life, came to help us for several weeks in the summer of 2011 with her co-president Daniela Isaza. They visited the different programs that our project has in La Tablada de Lurin in Lima and in Las Antillas de Paracas to the south of Lima. Our continuous communication through email and Skype has given us the opportunity to establish a very close and lively relationship with them. We feel that the students are thus able to learn what we are doing, and we are also able to learn from them. We have grown to know and understand each other during this team project. We especially appreciate their humanitarian qualities and the time and effort they dedicate to finding the necessary financial help to support our projects in Lima and Paracas. We enjoy observing how a young group of privileged university students get together and make the effort to reach people of other countries and cultures to give them the opportunity to better their lives, to have basic services, and to have access to health benefits which are a right for every human being without distinction. When we see the photographs of the different activities the students of Vanderbilt do to raise funds, we think and feel that we have partners, that we are part of a movement that wants to change things in this world. All year round they involve friends, family and their own lives, their time and personal interests. We appreciate immensely all that effort and know that we have the responsibility to manage all the funds and assistance that they provide so generously to us to the best of our abilities. We also want to stress the very amicable attitude they have towards us, the time they spend with us, and the quality of the members of the group that visit us to share with us our daily lives despite the differences in language, culture, etc., accepting the challenge to understand us and help us in every way possible. Something that we appreciate very much is to have the opportunity and time to talk personally with the students of Vanderbilt when they are in Peru. We enjoy meeting them and hearing about their studies, plans, and dreams for their futures and also hearing all about their families. We know that there are many things we have to learn, and we always want to learn new ways to improve and optimize what we are doing in Peru. We also recognize the amount of compromise and responsibility of each of the members of the group who work to achieve our common goals and are able to help people they don't know and who are geographically far away. There is much value in helping people, but much more in helping those we don't know. These students work with conviction and strength to improve the lives of the people of Peru and other parts of the world. Knowing Amanda, Daniela, Rebecca and Joey, we can have an idea of how GlobeMed is as an organization. We only want to say thank you very, very much for having invited us to be part of your organization and to be part of the solution that our world needs now and in the future. With gratitude and love, from the team of Dios Es Amor from La Tablada de Lurin/Lima Peru.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR PARTNER [Dios Es Amor]

&OUR PROJECT GlobeMed at Vanderbilt University

Why capacity building? Our project this year funded monthly health campaigns to a rural region of Peru, Las Antillas, which has not received consistent medical care since being devastated by an earthquake in 2007. With no permanent clinic in this area, these health campaigns provide the only means by which residents receive care. Each month over 100 patients are seen and prescribed Necessary medications. Long term medical issues are also managed on a monthly basis. We have also begun to fund the construction of a permanent clinic in Las Antillas. This will allow our partner organizationto expand their operations beyond Lima to some of Peru’s most impoverished people. Our funds allow them to ensure the continuity of this project, which is integral to entering into solidarity with the community of Las Antillas.

Providing healthcare to Las Antillas through monthly health campaigns and building a

permanent clinic.

Our funds this year supported two aspects of community health in Las Antillas. The first was direct health campaigns each month. We funded transportation to and from the region,

housing for personnel, and basic medical supplies. The second was initial construction of a permanent clinic.

The current community building used for campaigns does not

have running water or electricity, presenting sanitary and operational problems that will be solved by the new facilities.

The clinic will also provide an environment in which a permanent healthcare professional can operate on a more frequent basis. Our funds this year built a protected well, a

bathroom, and several wooden structures with lighting that can be used for clinical functions as the permanent structures are

constructed.

Since 2010, GlobeMed at Vanderbilt has raised almost $14,000 to support basic health campaigns and the building of a permanent clinic in

Las Antillas, a rural area of Peru.

CAMPAIGNS FISH FOR A WISH October 13, 2011 During a single day of sales at several campus locations, we sold 100 betta fish with bowls and food. As a relatively new organization on campus, this gave us a great way to get our name out and to publicize for future events. Every fish came with a brochure about GlobeMed at Vanderbilt and our partner, Dios es Amor. While fish have no direct association with our partner, it was a tremendously effective fundraiser and provided a means to tell hundreds of students about our organization. The event was sponsored by the Dean of the Commons, the office in charge of first-year living and programming.

GIGI’S CUPCAKES FOR DIOS ES AMOR February 13, 2012 Using a combination of Facebook to advertise and Google forms to take orders, we pre-sold approximately 150 cupcakes at $5 each. This allowed us to ensure a profit while taking almost no risk of losing money. We ordered about 30 extra cupcakes and then set up at various campus locations where people could either pick up pre-ordered cupcakes or buy them on the spot. We used this opportunity to continue spreading information about our organization and our partner in addition to raising a significant amount of money.

“Selling betta fish allowed us to raise money and spread awareness about GlobeMed and our partner.”

“Using social networking sites to publicize both the event and our partner, we were able to sell hundreds of cupcakes and tell hundreds more about our organization.”

The past year was a success for globalhealthU at Vanderbilt in many respects. In March, Dr. Joia Mukherjee’s enlightening and inspirational lecture at the Vanderbilt Medical Center encouraged us to re-evaluate our perspective on global health. We gained a broader idea of ways in which students can contribute to global health equity. We also attended her lecture with GlobeMed from Rhodes College. By doing so, we learned to appreciate camaraderie between chapters. We also became more active in the community through various fundraising events on campus (Fish for a Wish, Chick-Fil-A sales). These campus-wide events enabled us to inform the community about our goal and our partner, Dios Es Amor. Lastly, the newly restructured curriculum’s emphasis on small groups enabled every member to participate in discussions. Everyone’s perspectives on ways to combat poverty and examine critical political and socioeconomic issues provided a basis for further understanding social justice.

STUDENTS’ ROLE Following a critical discussion

of our role in perpetuating poverty, we sought to

understand how we can be effective advocates.

REFLECTION Chapters reflected on the year

behind them both as individuals and in the context

of their chapter.

Love Speaks With Brett Dennen October 21, 2001

GlobeMed at Vanderbilt worked together with Brett Dennen, an up and coming singer/songwriter, to spread the word about GlobeMed and global health. Brett has put out four studio albums and has opened for several big acts like John Mayer. Through a program called Love Speaks, nonprofits can partner with Brett Dennen at stops on his tour. We set up a booth to distribute information, and Brett spoke briefly about GlobeMed on stage. While we didn't raise money at this event, it was a great way to spread the word about GlobeMed beyond the Vanderbilt bubble.

An Evening with Dr. Joia Mukherjee March 23, 2012 In conjunction with the medical school, we hosted medical director of Partners in Health, Dr. Joia Mukherjee. She spoke to approximately 150 students, professors, and members of the Rhodes chapter about her experiences and why she is so passionate about the work she does. She also talked about the role of the student in global health. Afterward, she joined a few of us for dinner at a local restaurant where she continued to entertain us with stories of her experiences. This event provided a great means for bringing campus leaders together and facilitating discussion about global health equity.

"Dr. Joia Mukherjee's lecture brought together and inspired more than 150 students and the leaders of at least 10 student-run global health organizations."

TOTAL # OF CHAPTER MEMBERS: # OF COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS: Our chapter has continued to develop our sense of community through retreats, parties, and chapter meals. We only lost a few members from last year, so we were able to begin the year with a strong community. Retreats helped new members integrate, while parties and chapter meals helped us all develop friendships. Meetings were relaxed, allowing all members to share their ideas. This helped us find new ways to raise both money and awareness on campus. We have been able to grow both as members of GlobeMed and friends. Additionally, our work at Vanderbilt concession stands provided a way to bond while raising money for our partner. Long shifts of five hours serving hot dogs and nachos provided a great, albeit unexpected, way for the chapter to grow closer

# OF GROW INTERNS: LENGTH OF STAY: WORK DESCRIPTION: The work of the 2012 GROW interns was as varied as the day-to-day operations of Dios es Amor. They translated documents, played with kids in the after school program, helped with reading classes for the elderly, triaged patients during health campaigns, sorted endless piles of recycling, and did whatever else they could to help our partners in Peru. Perhaps most importantly, they observed firsthand the effects of our efforts over the past two years and were able to gain a profound understanding of the many ways DEA is improving the lives of those who live in their community.

“Everyone that meets Mili says she is amazing. She didn’t disappoint. Within ten minutes of my first conversation with her she had told me the most inspiring story I’ve ever heard. While the rest of

Peru was reeling from the earthquake of 2007, she and her family packed the car with supplies and

headed for the epicenter. Five years later that epicenter has become the project of GlobeMed at

Vanderbilt.” -- Joey Starnes, c/o 2014

WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE

GLOBEMED AT VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY joined 45 other GlobeMed chapters across the nation in a network-wide commemoration of the 4th Annual World Day of Social Justice during the week of February 20, 2012, by asking professors to dedicate five minutes of class time to a discussion on how poverty and social justice relates to their field of study. GLOBEMED TEACH-IN HIGHLIGHTS: The best part of the teach-ins was to see that all of these professors, no matter what field they were from, had profoundly considered how their careers and their fields could affect social justice. Dr. Lori Catanzaro (Medicine, Health, and Society) addressed the specific issues faced by Hispanics both in the U.S. and abroad, Dr. Philip Rasico (Spanish) spoke about the cultural and linguistic barriers to social justice, Dr. Todd Graham spoke about the ethics of cutting edge research, and many other faculty addressed similar issues. While the fields of these professors are varied, they all shared a common message: as students who have been blessed with so much, it is our duty to fight for social justice.

“INJUSTICE anywhere is a THREAT to JUSTICE everywhere.”

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed February 20th as World Day of Social Justice in 2007. Observation of WDSJ supports efforts of the

international community in poverty eradication, the promotion of full employment and decent work, gender equity and access to social well-

being and justice for all.

"Hispanics in the US are the least likely ethnic group to have health insurance. One in three Hispanics are uninsured, leading to lack of prevention and treatment for chronic diseases including diabetes and cardiovascular disease and higher death rates from prostate, breast, and cervical cancers. More Hispanics die on the job than any other segment of our population. Latina adolescents have the highest rates of attempted suicide compared to any other segment of our population. Dental care and mental health issues go largely untreated in the Hispanic population. As it is still a relatively young population (average 27), more pernicious ailments will begin later in life and be more advanced in their severity. With less access to care, Hispanics will be faced with less ability to protect quality of life." - Dr. Lori Catanzaro

2012 DELEGATES: Joey Starnes

The annual GlobeMed Global Health Summit brings together university students from across the nation for three days of intensive lectures and

workshops with representatives from grassroots global health organizations and a range of experts.

2012 GLOBAL HEALTH SUMMIT

“Summit provided a great opportunity to see the network in action and to connect with people from other chapters. It is always incredible to see everything that this group of students is capable of. I took home countless ideas on how to improve our chapter and how to work more effectively with our partner.” "

-- Joey Starnes, c/o 2014

OUR FUTURE

After completing our second year on campus, GlobeMed at Vanderbilt is extremely excited for the future. This summer we sent three members on our second GROW trip to visit Dios es Amor. Now that they have safely returned to the U.S., we will be spending the rest of the summer compiling the stories, pictures, and videos they collected for use in our campaigns. During the coming year we hope to expand on all of our existing projects and create new ones. This past year we were able to use Dr. Joia Mukherjee’s (Medical Director, PIH) lecture to bring together health and medicine leaders from all parts of campus. We hope to expand on this momentum by hosting more events like this in the future, including bringing another Partners in Health speaker to campus. The visibility garnered from these events helps us raise awareness both about our partner and about global health equity as a whole. Entering our third year, our biggest goal is to strengthen the bond between members of the chapter and our partner in Peru. We hope to do this through sharing the story of someone helped by our partner at each of our meetings, having at least one Skype call each semester between the entire chapter and DEA, and doing more consistent partner updates. It has been said that GlobeMed is more about the partnership than the money, and it’s time we started living by this mantra. We also hope to leverage our growing support on campus to increase our fundraising totals. To help us with this, please contact vanderbilt@globemed.org or donate online at http://www.razoo.com/story/Globe-Med-At-Vanderbilt
