Hi there,
My name is Anna Brown and I’m the Founder and President of Project HEAL, a student organization at Duke University with the mission to plan and implement health education and research projects to help alleviate international health disparities, particularly in Latin America. Last year several students from Project HEAL spent 2 months in several villages near La Ceiba, Honduras, interviewing community members about health and environmental issues and coordinating health education camps in El Porvenir and El Cacao.
I’m excited to announce that 8 students from Project HEAL will be part of our 2010 summer experience to implement health education, research, and water purification initiatives in El Porvenir and El Cacao this summer. Our experience will begin this Weds, June 2nd, when 4 students travel to El Porvenir for the first part of our project. After a half week of orientation, we will be prepared to launch a full health camp week at the Kinder in El Porvenir. We will work closely with the local health clinic as well.
I’m looking forward to our experience and am happy that we can all share our perspectives in this blog.
Stay posted for updates from our group this summer!

PS I’ve posted a few awesome photos from our experience last summer as a preview to what we’ll experience this summer!
