Project Update

Thank you to all who attended our event, Experiences in Peru: Medicine, Education and Life in the Andes. We were so excited to showcase our work and experience the Achachis y Bordados exhibit with our friends and family.

Here are some photos taken at the event:

In other news, we are excited to announce the addition of a new, great group of University of Richmond students to our trip to Pampas Grande in March. These students are UR stand-outs, and we are thrilled to have them working with us on our projects as we plan for Pampas.

Additionally, thanks to Dr. Paula Tamashiro, we now have a comprehensive figure describing our services in Pampas Grande last year. We are using this data to help shape our projects for the trip this spring and for our long-term efforts. Thanks, Dr. Paula!



Experiences in Peru: Medicine, Education and Life in the Andes

Our upcoming fundraising event, Experiences in Peru: Medicine, Education and Life in the Andes, will be held on Saturday, November 12 from 6 to 8pm at the Lora Robins Gallery (next to Boatwright Memorial Library) on the University of Richmond campus. Come and enjoy light refreshments along with a brief lecture from pediatrician Dr. Sean McKenna (top vote-getter for Richmond Magazine's Top Docs of 2011) and a gallery of beautifully embroidered Peruvian tapestries (achachis) and breath-taking photographs of our adventures in Peru. Donations are greatly appreciated, and checks can be made payable to the Richmond Global Health Alliance.

We look forward to seeing you there!
