Working with Women's Health

Mom and I have been dubbed leaders of the Women's Health Initiative for the annual UR/VCU spring break trip to Pampas Grande, Peru. I'm so excited to go to Pampas again this year, and I think we can do a lot of great things to ensure long-term improvements in the community. Unlike last year, we're going in this year equipped to do some research. We're planning on working with Pampas Grande community health workers to administer surveys throughout the year. This way, we can have a better idea of the self-assessed women's health needs of the community. Data is always good.

We'll be doing the women's health clinic in Pampas like last year, and will work with the Social Justice Project to advocate for concerns of women in the community at the annual town hall meeting. We have a ton of work to do before leaving, but it's going to be a great trip. :)
