18 THANK YOU

Friends of GlobeMed at Amherst College:

It’s been an honor to be a part of the inception and growth of

GlobeMed at Amherst over the past year. In the summer of

2010, as the two of us set out on this journey, we worried

that we would not even be able to fill up the executive board,

let alone find a whole chapter. And yet, by the end of the fall

semester, we had over 30 committed student staff members

working hand-in-hand with our partner organization in El

Salvador for social justice and health equity.

We invite you to peruse our 2010-2011 Annual Report. These

pages contain a remarkable array of accomplishments, such

as getting our message out to hundreds of Amherst students

through our events and campaigns, sending four of our

members to visit our partner, Pastoral, and raising over

$5000 to support their projects in community health worker

training and income generation.

What can’t be conveyed in any report of numbers, however,

is the learning and personal growth that occurred this year.

As co-presidents, we refined our senses of motivation and

management, while our staff and executive board responded

admirably to the high standards of accountability to which

GlobeMed at Amherst holds its members. Most importantly,

we cultivated relationships with each other, with the

GlobeMed network, and with Pastoral. We truly came to feel

a part of a larger GlobeMed family stretching from Ho,

Ghana to Evanston to Amherst to Cojutepeque, El Salvador.

Looking ahead, we feel confident in the continued success of

GlobeMed at Amherst next year and beyond. Thanks to

growing interest in our cause and your continued support,

our chapter will be able to raise more money for Pastoral,

reach out to greater numbers of students, and carry on

preparing our members for lives spent in pursuit of global

health equity and social justice.

Yours in solidarity,

Ethan Balgley and Lais Miachon-Silva

ABOUT USGlobeMed at Amherst

In 2010, GlobeMed at

Amherst was launched by a

group of students looking to

be part of a movement that

would allow students to

have a tangible impact on

global health issues.

Upon its founding,

Amherst's GlobeMed

chapter formed a

partnership with Pastoral

de la Salud in Cuscatlán, El

Salvador.

GlobeMed at Amherst now

has 29 committed

members. We've cemented

our relationship with

Pastoral with a visit in June

2011 and have raised over

$5000 to support projects

run by Pastoral.

since our founding in, our chapter

has grown from to members.

PASTORAL DE LA SALUD

KEY FACT: Cuscatlan and the

rest of El Salvador are

undergoing an epidemiological

transition in their disease

burden. It is now possible to see

malnutrition and stunted growth

side by side with childhood

obesity, high cholesterol and

diabetes.[About Pastoral]

FOUNDED IN 1984

Pastoral de la Salud was created as a means to deliver

health care to civilians during the civil war. It quickly

became clear to them that populations from non affected

areas needed health services as much as those from

conflict zones. Ever since, Pastoral de la Salud has

been working in many communities throughout three of

El Salvador’s fourteen departments. The partnership

with GlobeMed at Amherst, which started in 2010, seeks

to connect our chapter with 50 of the communities in the

Cuscatlán department, more specifically those under the

Cojutepeque vicarage. Pastoral de la Salud’s mission is

to contribute to improvement on health conditions

through participative processes of organization, training

and inter-institutional coordination. Pastoral de la Salud

is involved in projects involving nutrition, education,

sanitation and child and maternal health.

[WORKS IN COJUTEPEQUE,

CUSCATLAN, EL SALVADOR]

POPULATION: 70,000

Pastoral de la Salud began their work during the civil war

(1980-92), delivering health care to civilian populations in

conflict areas. They soon realized that the population in non-

conflict zones were in just as much need for health services.

Although GlobeMed at Amherst works directly with the zone

of Cuscatlan, Pastoral de la Salud is also present in the

departments of San Salvador and La Libertad. The state's

health system is patchy at best. Unidades de Salud are

located in some of the bigger municipalities and have very

large catchment areas. More recently the government has

created the ECOS (Equipos Comunitarios de Salud), which

have smaller catchment areas and are supposed to reach the

most rural populations that previously had no access to

health services.

Partner Contact: Mercedes Tejada, Tecnica of the Cuscatlán zone

A MESSAGE FROM OUR PARTNER

The work of Pastoral with GlobeMed is a new

experience for us. In the little time we’ve known each

other we have maintained good communication,

supporting the work that we carry out with the

community health workers and communities in the

area of Cuscatlán. We hope this connection remains

for a long time so we can go on supporting other

communities and families, since health is directly

related to quality of life and, according to the WHO,

health is the physical, social and mental well being,

not only the absence of illness.

We also thank the GlobeMed office for having included

us as partners in their work. It makes us happy that

there are people with the social sensitivity and the

interest to work towards helping others improve their

living conditions. Additionally, this effort comes from

the youth, and we know it is an effort outside their

academic activities and responsibilities.

Our first experience working with GlobeMed has been

very good. During this year we have kept good

communication, and they were able to support two

project proposals. The first one is the training of

community health workers from the Cuscatlán area.

Once a month, about 40 participants meet, coming

from different municipalities and communities. We are

also about to begin our second project, an income

generating initiative with youth. In the recent GROW

trip, there were opportunities to get to know the

volunteer work of CHWs, their strengths and

limitations. To the Pastoral de la Salud office, this type

of support is very valuable.

GlobeMed at Amherst

[Why community

health workers?]Community Health

Workers/Promotores are the lifeline

between Pastoral de la Salud and

the communities with which they

work. Training sessions are meant

to keep their knowledge and skills

up to date so they can better serve

the population in their communities.

Through 50 CHWs, Pastoral de la

Salud is able to reach 47

communities in the Cuscatlán area.

GlobeMed at Amherst is supporting the training of

fifty Community Health Workers from Cuscatlán in

order to improve the health of 47 communities.The project GlobeMed at Amherst College supported this year was

a series of trainings aimed at the Community Health Workers in

the zone of Cuscatlán. The trainings happen on a bimonthly basis

and aim to empower the promoters to be agents of change in their

communities. The trainings are led by outside experts or the office

technicians. They include themes such as community organizing,

the human right to health, food security, environmental risk, family

medicine, first aid, and Integrated Management of Childhood

Illnesses (IMCI). Since the speakers are volunteers and the venue

is owned by the church, the $1,500 is being used to pay for meals.

The trainings start at 8am and go through 1pm and they serve

breakfast, snack and lunch as a way to make up for the cost of a

missed day of work and costs with transportation.

[PASTORAL]

GlobeMed at Amherst[Why a popular

market?]The Popular Market project will

provide the community of Cerro

Colorado with a wider choice of

grocery products at an

affordable price, thus helping to

improve the quality of nutrition in

that community. Additionally, by

creating and managing a store,

the local youth group will create

employment opportunities for

young professionals. In an area

where jobs are scarce, working

at a popular store can be an

alternative to joining gangs

or other illicit activities.The Tienda Juvenil (Youth Store) created by the

youth group in Cerro Colorado, El Salvador will give

the community varied products and accessible

prices while providing local young adults with a

source of income and a chance to develop

marketable entrepreneurial skills. The popular market project was an initiative by the Grupo Derechos

de la Juventud, affiliated with the Catholic church in Cerro Colorado,

an area belonging to the San Rafael Cedros municipality. The seed

capital of $3500 will fund both the equipment necessary for the

store (such as a refrigerator and shelves) and the initial stock of

products that will be sold at the store (cleaning supplies, groceries,

produce, etc). The member of the youth group are responsible for

re-stocking the store, managing its finances, and taking shifts

working at the store. As a long term goal, they want the market to

yield enough to pay for their salaries as well as to reinvest money to

purchase more groceries to sell. Currently, there are 14 people from

the group that are involved in this project. The idea is to provide the

youth with alternatives to joining gangs as well as developing

marketable skills and securing an income through a job that is

flexible and is able to accommodate their school hours.

March 25, 2011

The Jungle 2 Jungle Global

Health Equity Rumble

campaign consisted of a

dance party with a DJ in one

of the large dorms on

campus. There was a

suggested donation at the

door to the dance floor as well

as handmade shirts

promoting health equity and

GlobeMed for sale. This

event raised over $600 and

promoted GlobeMed

throughout campus! We

helped turn a Friday night

study break into a meaningful

opportunity to help others.

Students on campus

responded well; it was a great

event and helped raise

considerable funds.

Date Auction

April 28, 2011

The GlobeMed Date Auction was

another event that proved to be a

great success. Pitting students'

wallets against their hearts, we

raised significant funds for

Pastoral, while also putting on a

memorable show. The Date

Auction was a great way to get

members of the campus involved

with GlobeMed. We auctioned off

25 high-profile students who

strutted down the runway in order

to help raise money for our

partner. It was one of the most

successful events, raising

$1136.69. The Date Auction was

so well received and successful

that we are planning to bring it

back in the future as an annual

event!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE YEAR

"Our Junge2Jungle:

Health Equality

Rumble sought to

help our global health

partner, Pastoral,

through doing what

college students love

most: partying. It

was a great way to

introduce GlobeMed

to the Amherst

College Campus.”

- Adam Medoff '13

"The GlobeMed Date

Auction at Amherst

College was, by any

measure, a smashing

success. Dancing

police officers, a cute

biker gang, and lots of

laughs highlighted the

entertaining and

profitable event. The

newly-dubbed annual

event will surely

become a staple in

Amherst's social

calendar!"

- Kim Snyder '12

GLOBALHEALTHU

GlobalhealthU increased chapter awareness of social

justice issues and health disparities around the world. In

a typical session, small group discussions gave

members an opportunity to share their perspectives and

experiences with each other. Members then returned to

the larger group conversation and shared what they had

discussed in the smaller groups. Many learned a lot from

their peers’ experiences and increased their own

understanding by gaining different perspectives.

GlobalhealthU strengthened the cohesiveness of the

chapter because it provided a collective space to form a

group ideology as well as to share individual thoughts.

The discussions also helped us see how health

disparities tie in with other social issues relating to

religion, economics, political systems, etc. We not only

discussed these issues to gain a culturally sensitive

understanding of them, but we also discussed possible

solutions to these problems.

globalhealthU is a GlobeMed

designed curriculum that enables

students to develop a critical

understanding of issues in global

health and apply this knowledge

to their work with communities

around the world

# OF COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS:

Community building is integral to the success of GlobeMed's

campaigns, staying power in the school, and personal growth

of each member. Trial and error showed social activities could

be casual and offer opportunities for everyone to get to know

one another without relying on liquid courage, and potlucks in

particular were good ways to introduce oneself to the rest of

the group, especially when tied to a personal story. We also

learned that community building events helping campaigns

should not be optional because every campaign needs to be

a team effort. Those who helped make t-shirts to raise money

for our first party developed strong ties based on more than

just GlobeMed-related topics, and earned mutual respect for

their extra effort. Service trips need to be planned at least a

month in advance so members can plan accordingly, and

since many organizations require orientation modules, such

as Habitat for Humanity. Overall, the biggest lesson learned

was that community building needs a lot of staff input, avid e-

board support, and lots of planning. Not all of our trips came

to fruition, but we never got discouraged!

Through service and team-building events, community and camaraderie is

fostered around global health and social justice within GlobeMed chapters, the

GlobeMed network and surrounding communities.

WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE

GLOBEMED AT AMHERST joined 31 other

GlobeMed chapters across the nation in a network-

wide commemoration of the 3rd Annual World Day of

Social Justice on February 20, 2011, by asking

students, professors, and community members on

campus an open-ended, thought provoking question

relating to social justice.

OUR QUESTION: [Everyone deserves ____.]

BEHIND THE SCENES: During one of our chapter

meetings leading up to the World Day of Social

Justice, we broke into small groups to brainstorm

questions, and then came together to vote on what

we produced. We selected this fill-in-the-blank

phrase because we felt that it distilled the essence

of social justice, while still being extremely open-

ended. Chapter members then volunteered to get

photo responses from various figures in the Amherst

community, such as police officers, athletes, and

well-known professors. Answers ranged from the

whimsical to the comprehensive, as can be seen in

the examples here.

OUR FUTURE

GlobeMed at Amherst is striving to become one of

the highest-profile groups on campus in the 2011-

12 academic year. We hope to expand our

presence on campus by hosting more events

throughout the year that will promote awareness of

our work with Pastoral and our mission to promote

health equity.

Our ultimate goal is to have a permanent effect on

the discourse on-campus and throughout the

Pioneer Valley, and to create a stronger sense of

community within our chapter, on campus, and with

Pastoral. We also hope to expand our impact to the

sizable and diverse Five College community by

reaching out to the four other college campuses in

the Amherst area. Financially, we plan to raise

$8000 for our partner. To do so we will have another

Date Auction and many more “Instead Of"

Campaigns in 2011-12, as these events were two of

our most successful fundraisers this past year and

will continue to provide a solid foundation for our

future efforts.

As a fledgling chapter we have a lot of work to do,

but we have a group of talented and committed

people who will strive for nothing less than

greatness this coming year.

“What really stands out about GlobeMed to me, which became even more

apparent at the GlobeMed Summit, is the network of people that were all

wholeheartedly committed to acting on their convictions of social justice and

human rights. The highlight of that weekend for me was Joia Mukherjee's

speech. This was the first time I have ever felt the inspiration being shared

by each individual in the room, resulting in a very positive and connecting

energy between all present. All in all, my experience with GlobeMed, not

even one year strong, has given me more confidence in my pursuit of a

career in global health.” – Megan Curry, c/o 2011
