From Barbara: Working in global health is more than about helping people. Global health is about finding creative solutions to some of the world’s most complex problems. Global health practitioners often work in areas where there is little infrastructure, stability, or funds. They provide the opportunity and impetus for communities to live healthier, wealthier lives and create systems that have the ability to improve the lives of many for generations to come. I am passionate about global health programs that work and prioritize those most vulnerable to illness and death. I feel fortunate to be working with Curamericas Global’s programs serving mothers and children in Latin America and Africa. “Don’t ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” – H. Thurman |
