About GlobeMed Mission

GlobeMed aims to strengthen the movement for global health equity by empowering students and communities to work together to improve the health of people living in poverty around the world.

Vision

We envision a world in which health â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the ability to not only survive but thrive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is possible for all people, regardless of where they call home.

We believe every human life has equal worth and every person deserves the chance to thrive. This belief has drawn together our network of students, communities, and supporters from all walks of life and from every corner of the world. Health for all is within our grasp, but we can only achieve it by working together.

Globemed at columbia university To our friends, families, and supporters: We would like to take this moment to thank you so much for your support this past year. With your help, GlobeMed at Columbia was able to raise over $21,000 to fund our HIV/AIDS Prevention and Awareness project with GWED-G. GWED-G will now be able to incorporate new programs based on direct community feedback, including nutritional support for newborns, income generation for young men and mothers, and small incentives for village health workers. We would also like to share with you how proud we are of our chapter. This spring, the chapter was honored with the Columbia King’s Crown Leadership Excellence award, in recognition of our contributions to the community over the past year. And what a year it has been! Our chapter hosted its second annual Hilltop conference, themed “From Person to Person: The Ripple Effect of Grassroots Mobilization”, and attended by over 100 delegates from 10 chapters. Our Individual Giving Campaign launched a brand new website to highlight our chapter and GWED-G’s work in Uganda. During the spring semester, we redesigned our campaign team structure to incorporate four umbrella teams: Fundraising, Awareness, Signatures, and New Initiatives. We also began a Private Sector Initiative, with hopes to connect GWED-G to partners in the business world. So as we end this year, we feel confident that with a partnership that is stronger than ever, with a chapter that is truly dedicated to GWEDG’s work, and with a network of supporters that has helped us achieve our goals, next year can only be our best year yet. In solidarity, Menaka Dhingra and Nicole Dussault 2012-2013 Co-Presidents

GlobeMed at Columbia university

About Us 2013 marks GlobeMed at Columbia and GWED-G’s fourth year together. Starting in 2009, one year after the chapter’s founding, our partnership has grown via a PenPal program, two partner visits, and three GROW internships. GWED-G staff and GlobeMedders realized that after the civil war, Northern Uganda was plagued by the spread of HIV/AIDS. Together, we implement an HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness project that now includes maternal support, men’s groups, and village health workers. Our chapter has grown to almost forty students, with an annual fundraising goal of $21,522. Together with GWED-G, we will enable over 17,000 Ugandans to receive quality healthcare.

since our founding in september 2008, our chapter has grown from 10 to 41 members.

Gulu women’s economic development and globalization Gulu, Uganda Population: 298,500 After the civil war in Uganda between the Lord’s Resistance Army and the government, Northern Uganda is faced with daunting challenges on the road to recovery. Girls and women in Northern Uganda are affected by a widespread HIV epidemic, extreme poverty, and a shortage of health workers to support their needs. Stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV and AIDS, a lack of education about the disease, and traditional gender norms persist as major barriers to the health and well-being of not only women, but also entire communities in Gulu. An absence of quality healthcare and health workers contributes to ignorance about HIV.

Gulu Women’s Economic Development and Globalization Founded in 2004 GWED-G was founded by community women in Northern Uganda who suffered the impact of the war with the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). GWED-G is committed to promoting the rights of women and vulnerable populations and their participation in the peace-building process in war-affected Uganda. As the first women’s organization to provide training projects for rural human rights volunteers, GWED-G established structures enabling women to be agents of change within their own communities. GWED-G program areas include Health, Human Rights, Peace Building, Economic and Social Empowerment, Psychosocial Support, Research, and Advocacy. In the last eight years, GWED-G has worked with over 140,000 women, men, youth, local leaders, government officials, and international organizations to promote peace and development in their communities. In addition to its partnership with GlobeMed at Columbia, GWED-G is partnered with Amnesty International, Care International, the American Refugee Council, and the Independent Development Fund.

KEY FACT: There is a 310 maternal mortality ratio (per 100,000 live births)/ KEY FACT: There is only 54% antiretroviral therapy coverage among people with advanced HIV infection.

Gulu women’s economic development and Globalization Change is happening!!!! This message comes to you as we enter our renewed commitment to create a just, healthy and peaceful environment where global health, human rights and the rule of law are respected and reenforced overall including gender equality. We reached a number of milestones over this year and we received some definitive proof of the difference our programs have made in the lives of our beneficiaries and vulnerable communities we serve. We live in pluralistic societies made up of people from different backgrounds, beliefs, and life styles. Our beneficiaries are war affected communities of northern Uganda who suffered from the intense conflict in the region and are now resettled back to their original homeland and are people living with HIV/AIDS. These are women and girls who are excluded and stigmatized: they suffer discriminations because of living with HIV/AIDS and they are judged by certain individual or communities and seen as “lesser” and therefore not deserving of equal treatment. They are poor, and are sick, and crippled down with several levels of vulnerabilities. Their abilities were eroded to participate fully in the social, economic, and political life of their society because of their ill health; their status made them invisible and rendered them powerless over decisions that affect their lives. However the GlobeMed Project has revitalized these perceptions and rebuilt the lives of people living with HIV/AIDs in Lamogi sub-county Amuru district. The project has benefited 17,706 direct beneficiaries, and 293,000 indirect beneficiaries with interventions around Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission of HIV and Ante-Natal Care services, HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness platforms, blood screening, distributions of medical supplies and mothers kits, livelihood opportunities, and support to youth groups and Positive Men Unions. This partnership has been evolving and now it has moved towards a sustained effort in promoting women’s health. Some amazing changes have been happening with our beneficiaries supported under the HIV/AIDS prevention programs. Women living with AIDS continue to appreciate information and education given to them on HIV/AIDS preventions. They are giving birth to healthy babies, and have positive adherence to their conditions. They gain better health through nutritional supplements and the therapeutic feeding given to their children. The UN 2008/9 reports that maternal mortality remains unacceptably high across most of the developing world. In sub-saharan Africa, a woman’s risk of dying from treatable or preventable complications in pregnancy and childbirth over the course of her lifetime is 1 in 22, compared to a 1 in 7,300 risk in a developed region. One in four of these women could be saved by our personal efforts. In 2007, 67% of people living with HIV were women. Young people aged 15-24 accounted for an estimated 45% of new infections and 370 thousand children younger than 15 years became infected with HIV. These statistics imply that we are on a long lasting mission. GWED-G has enjoyed a partnership with GlobeMed that is built on effective trust and relationships. Working with young student advocates aspiring to promote global heath and equitable justice, we learnt that there is no need to wait for a particular time because every action and idea can be crafted to create meaningful change. We applaud all those who have invested in our work with GlobeMed at Columbia University. We also want to applaud our chapter students and their efforts; they have been a bold and proactive working group that has never missed meeting our target goals. A smile in the face of one healthy baby reminds me of the faces of the overall 45+ members of GlobeMed teams I have ever met and seen. GWED-G and GlobeMed have finally built bridges that exist between students, beneficiaries, and the global communities; it has helped our beneficiaries speak openly and unite to challenge life positively in the face of HIV/AIDS and other vulnerabilities.

Impact Area:

Communicable Disease Prevention

HIV/AIDS Prevention and Awareness

17,706 people will be impacted

$21,522

to fund an HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness project in Gulu, Uganda

Why communicable disease prevention? Increasing HIV sensitization, especially among young males, will reduce the risk of HIV transmission, eliminate stigmatization of HIV positive people, improve men's attitudes and behavior, and mobilize men to advocate for gender equity. Higher quality community health workers will also increase awareness through individual counseling. Giving mothers the tools to have healthy babies and keep them healthy with proper nutrition will enable future generations to be born in good health with no HIV. This will further GWED-Gâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission to promote health and human rights in Northern Uganda.

Funding an HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness project in Gulu, Uganda. Our project with GWED-G will increase HIV awareness and sensitization through large-scale education campaigns, voluntary counseling and testing, and male youth involvement. GWED-G will conduct training and capacity building of HIV health workers and provide them incentives for their voluntary work, promote maternal and newborn health prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) education and nutritional supplements in the form of livelihood interventions, and support health facilities with safe birth kits. Our fundraising and advocacy directly contributes to each of these initiatives, with over 17,000 direct beneficiaries and almost 300,000 indirect beneficiaries thus far. Together with GWED-G, we will continue working to ensure a better standard of living and healthcare for vulnerable populations in Northern Uganda.

Campaigns are on-campus events and initiatives that raise funds for GlobeMed partner organizations' grassroots projects abroad.

Highlights from the year

Gala

October 25, 2012 and March 28, 2013 The Gala was hosted once each semester, both times in partnership with the literary society Alpha Delta Pi. Chapter members and friends dressed up for a sumptuous evening of cheese and refreshments, complemented by fine company and conversation. In addition, videos compiled from footage obtained on GROW were shown, followed by presentations by the co-presidents highlighting the work of our chapter and the models of GlobeMed and GWED-G. In this way, the Gala serves as one of our chapterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature fundraisers and social events.

StrobeMed May 3, 2013

At this event, members collaborated with a number of groups on campus to host a series of performances, followed by a rave. Participating groups included Raw Elementz, a hiphop dance group, CU Bhangra, specializing in the Punjabi-style dance from India, and Venom Step Team, which performed a step dance routine. CU Voltage also provided a high energy drumming performance, while music performers Foggy Details, Mickey McDonald, and Standard Delivery provided a mix of folk and indie music. Glow sticks were distributed throughout the night, which culminated in a rave with DJ Henry Murphy, as well as a raffle drawing. Altogether, the night was a resounding success that raised money for GWED-G, extended GlobeMedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name across campus, and was enjoyable for performers and audience members alike.

globalhealthU is GlobeMed’s signature year-long global health curriculum. This student-designed and driven program equips students with the critical thinking skills that will inform a life of leadership for global health. This year’s ghU curriculum, Human Rights, fostered interesting discussions during our weekly GlobeMed meetings. The last 40 minutes of every meeting was devoted to ghU. The ghU coordinators used this time to give presentations and engage members in the week’s track. One week there was a presentation and debate about universal health care in the United States. Members were forced to argue for or against the institution based on a presentation and short readings. Other weeks, coordinators employed more creative tactics. To engage members in discourse on what role doctors, patients, their families, and their cultural values should have on health, a number of case studies were presented. Members then voiced their opinions about what should be done in each situation. While there were small group questions prepared for each week’s seminar, new chains of questions often arose in the midst of dialogue. For the case studies, our first question was: should the doctor or patient get ultimate authority over the healthcare choice? This lead to further inquiry, such as: what if the patient were incapacitated? Should the family then act as the patient’s liaison? Could government act like a parent or guardian over its constituent’s health? If not them, who was responsible? These questions were not always answerable, but the Socratic process encouraged members to think outside of the box when exploring the philosophically complex tangencies between human rights and global health, politics, the law, and more. Ample literature was read, from the preamble to The Universal Declaration of Human Rights to articles about history and current events in Northern Uganda, where our partner organization, GWED-G, is located. Our chapter members all had the chance to be heard during small and large group ghU discussions. People bonded over sharing of opinions. For GlobeMed at Columbia/Barnard, 10 pm on a Sunday night was anything but dreary. Rather, we could be found ending our ghU discussions, wondering at the enormity of the ethical tensions they raised. At these moments, we felt more inspired than ever to be dedicated to our chapters, our partners, and GlobeMed’s overarching goals. Lizzie Krusch globalhealthU Coordinator

Challenges in Global Health: Stories from Haitiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Front Lines April 16, 2013

Participants engaged with a group of experienced health professionals as they shared firsthand accounts from their efforts to improve health care in post-earthquake Haiti. Drawing on their varied experiences, panelists provoked discussion on a variety of topics such as faith-based NGOs and health issues, disaster recovery, and medical education in international settings. This dialogue provided a unique opportunity for globeMed members, and members of the community, to hear about pragmatic realities of global health, both in terms of complex challenges and innovative solutions. Co-sponsored with the Barnard College Office of Alumnae Affairs

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.

# OF COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS:

Our spring retreat had a series of activities, ranging from icebreakers and teambuilding activities like an obstacle course to an activity that prompted members to think about where they stand on a range of health-related statements. Our retreat was successful in getting members excited for the semester and also integrating some new members into the chapter. Since the retreat, most community building activities during meetings have been relatively light-hearted, with the main goal of bringing our members closer together. These have included â&#x20AC;&#x153;Speed Meeting,â&#x20AC;? GlobeMed Taboo, a group version of Two Truths and a Lie, and a baby photo guessing game. Members enjoyed getting to know one another. Community building towards the end of the semester included out-of-meeting activities, as well, such as attending a college basketball game together.

05 LENGTH OF STAY: 5 weeks May 21, 2013 – June 25, 2013

# OF GROW INTERNS:

WORK DESCRIPTION: During the trip, the GROW interns worked closely with GWED-G staff members. Each day they went out into the field, visiting many rural villages where the project beneficiaries reside. They observed HIV/AIDS sensitizations, gender-based violence (GBV) counseling sessions, and saw the progress and results of youth livelihood projects. Many interviews of GWED-G staff, village health workers, and project beneficiaries were conducted. At the end of the internship, the GROW members were able to have a discussion with GWED-G to put together a new budget and project outline for the coming year.

Through Grassroots On-site Work (GROW) internships, students build capacity of their partner organization, engage in mutual learning, and ensure long-term stability of their partnership. “GROW was an amazing experience. Getting to meet the GWED-G staff, seeing firsthand the impact of our project, and listening to the stories and needs of our beneficiaries gave us a depth of understanding about the issues facing our target communities that is invaluable to our strength as chapter members. It’s impossible to capture in words how grateful we are for the opportunity to connect to our partner and our partner community, and how much we will miss Pamela, Franny, and everyone at GWED-G. We love you all!” --Diane Wang, c/o 2014

“INJUSTICE anywhere is a THREAT to JUSTICE everywhere.” MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

GLOBEMED AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY joined 49 other GlobeMed chapters across the nation in a network-wide commemoration of the 5rd Annual World Day of Social Justice on February 20, 2013, by asking students, professors, and community members on campus an open-ended, thought provoking question relating to social justice. OUR QUESTION

What do you fight for? BEHIND THE SCENES: Everyone on our campus is extremely passionate about something, and we wanted to know what! This question pushes people to think about their own actions and their own place in fighting for a better world. Since our question is very open-ended, it also provides a great opportunity to see the diversity of issues that fall under social justice.

At a table outside Columbia's main library, we gave out free condoms and lube, safer sex info, and hot cocoa. While people were stopped, we also asked them to share their answer to our WDSJ question, and if they were interested, to join SGAC's campaign to sign and send valentines to senators asking them to stand up for global health funding.

We asked over people at Columbia, here’s how they responded >>>

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.

GlobeMed at Columbia University asked 30 people to answer the question â&#x20AC;Ś

The student momentum 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.

2013 DELEGATES: Helen Zhou & Elizabeth Krusch

“Summit was when I really began to take ownership of our chapter’s cause. The things that I had already known were worth fighting for became, in my mind, not only ethically defendable but also passionately defended. They are now more than just things I know are important; they are mine to fight for. At this crossroads of perspectives, activists, young leaders, inventors, international human rights heroes, and undergraduates from across the nation all shared their stories and convictions about the health of the world’s people; and I became engaged in the cause more deeply and genuinely than ever before.”

— Helen Zhou, c/o 2016

The 2012 GlobeMed HillTop Global Health Conference brought together over 130 students from GlobeMed chapters across the Northeast for three days of intense lectures, panels, workshops, and discussions. This year's theme, "From Person to Person: The Ripple Effect of Grassroots Mobilization" challenged delegates to reflect on the role of grassroots methods in the movement for global health equity, and to consider some strengths and weaknesses of communitybased organizing. Delegates then worked to apply this philosophical knowledge to their work within their GlobeMed chapter. Throughout the weekend, delegates were exposed to a wide variety of definitions and applications of the term "grassroots," ranging from microfinance in Kenya to needle exchange in Harlem. More importantly, they challenged themselves to use this knowledge to strengthen and grow the grassroots movement for global health equity both on U.S. college campuses and in the communities of GlobeMed partners abroad.

GlobeMed at Columbia University Friends of GlobeMed at Columbia University:

“Through GlobeMed, I have learned to engage critically and compassionately with the world around me. I have witnessed the power of personal relationships, and I have been empowered to act on my values. I believe in GlobeMed’s ability to do the same for people around the world. Love can move mountains.” - Lillian Jin, c/o 2013

This has been an exciting year for GlobeMed at Columbia. With our second annual HillTop conference, new campaign structures, and partnerships with numerous on and off campus organizations, our chapter has made great strides in raising awareness and support for Gulu Women’s Economic Development and Globalization. As we look to the next few months and years, we are planning to bring our partnership’s development to the next level. As part of our private sector initiative, we will work this summer to create an action plan to partner with New York City businesses. We hope to find new opportunities for funding and in-kind resources. Our team has already begun work on a presentation to start our outreach to the private sector. In September, we will launch the next phase of this initiative and begin forming these relationships.

One of our chapter’s main long term goals is to strengthen our partnership with GWED-G. We have made great progress in this area, with a pen-pal program, two partner visits, and three GROW internships. In the fall, we will start holding monthly skype calls between our chapter and the GWED-G staff. We will design a Partnership curriculum to bring back GROW media and information about our project to our chapter. Our main priority for growth will always be in improving our project with GWED-G. Through the community feedback the GROW interns receive this summer in Gulu, we will work with GWED-G to expand our project for the upcoming year. We hope that you will continue to support our chapter’s progress and growth. This has been a successful year, and we hope that next year will only bring improvements to our chapter, our project, and our partnership with GWED-G.
