15 THANK YOU
This was our biggest year yet! We were able to raise almost 9,000 dollars and we want to thank everyone that helped us succeed. Most of all we want to thank our wonderful executive board and staff members who showed dedication all year long. This year has been a year of growth for our partnership as well. In talking with Health Alert, we are reminded of how important this partnership is to our chapter here at UNC and how our GlobeMed family has grown. The GROW 2012 interns were able to evaluate and expand on our current projects while setting the stage for future growth. The team worked diligently alongside the Health Alert staff and were able to help promote the projects to support the community surrounding Health Alert. We are excited for the future of our chapter here at UNC and our partnership with Health Alert. We have confidence in the upcoming co-presidents and the fresh faces on the executive board and staff!

GlobeMed at UNC-Chapel Hill
august 2008
GlobeMed at UNC was founded in 2008. Our chapter was one of the founding chapters and since then we have seen exponential growth in our fundraising and awareness efforts for Health Alert Uganda. Our University is dedicated to fighting for social justice through collaborative efforts with organizations around the world. Since 2008, we have raised over $30,000 dollars for Health Alert Uganda. We received a Service Award grant through the Gillings School of Global Public Health to increase Health Alert Uganda's technology and a second from the Ronald W. Hyatt Rotary Club to implement a series of technology capacity building workshops through the summer of 2012.
ABOUT US
OUR PARTNER Health Alert Uganda
KEY FACT: Currently, there are 110,000 children living with AIDS in Uganda.
ABOUT GULU, UGANDA
FOUNDED IN 2004
Health Alert Uganda was founded to help provide health education and prevention resources for youth affected and infected with HIV/AIDS in Northern Uganda. GlobeMed at UNC and Health Alert Uganda started their partnership in 2008 to help support their mission of providing the leading community based care and support for youth (0-17) in their community.
WORKS IN GULU, UGANDA POPULATION: 154,300
Northern Uganda was greatly affected by the Lord's Resistance Army since 1987 led by Joseph Kony. The LRA is believed to have recruited between 60,000 and 100,000 child soldiers and displaced around 2 million people throughout central Africa. This mass displacement resulted in a damaged economy and infrastructure which greatly limited access to quality health care. HAU was founded on the premise to assist HIV positive children in receiving treatment and continuing to live a positive life with hope and ambition towards their future since they were a population neglected of the proper health care.

KEY FACT: From 2010-2011, there were a total of 1,922 known mothers who gave birth to children with HIV virus in Gulu, Uganda alone.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR PARTNER Health Alert Uganda
&OUR PROJECT GlobeMed at UNC-Chapel Hill
Why capacity building?
HAU's main clientele is children from 0 to 17 years old living with pediatric HIV/AIDS. Our focus area targets that demographic through programs like Prevention-of-Mother-to-Child safe delivery kits, seed and goat lending, HIV testing and vocational scholarships follows HAU's mission to support children infected and affected with HIV/AIDS.
Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission of HIV/AIDS "
Mama Kits play a key role in preventing pediatric HIV/AIDS
as they allow for a safe and sanitary delivery in a hospital. By increasing the funding allotted for Mama Kits, GlobeMed
at UNC has helped Health Alert-Uganda in its efforts to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS.
In 2012, GlobeMed at UNC funded the purchase of 72 Mama Kits to ensure that vulnerable mothers have the necessities
for a safe and sanitary delivery in a hospital. The items provided in the Mama Kits would otherwise have not been
obtained by these mothers due to the lack of financial resources. This project supports Health Alert-Uganda’s
mission of providing quality health care access to the community it serves and preventing mother-to-child
transmission of HIV/AIDS.

GlobalhealthU was important in exposing and educating staff to the GlobeMed values. One of the favorite tracks from this year was the economists debate which gave members a chance to articulate a certain viewpoint on global health. In the fall, the GlobeMed chapters at Duke and UNC hosted two speakers with funds from their partnership grant, the Kenan-Biddle grant, to speak on voluntourism and effective ways that students can get involved in global health. We also hosted several film screenings throughout the year.
globalhealthU 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.
2011-2012 CURRICULUM
ORIENTATION Chapter members were
equipped with a thorough understanding of the values of
GlobeMed and explored their personal values.
POVERTY AND HEALTH Chapters conceptualized
poverty and sought to explore the connections between
global health and poverty.
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS
We considered the views of six developmental economists
to explored the root causes and paths out of poverty.
INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION
Chapters conducted an in-depth investigation on a topic
of interest.
STUDENTS’ ROLE Following a critical discussion
of our role in perpetuating poverty, we sought to
understand how we can be effective advocates.
REFLECTION Chapters reflected on the year
behind them both as individuals and in the context
of their chapter.
TOTAL # OF CHAPTER MEMBERS: # OF COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS: The fall retreat at Jordan Lake and Spring Retreat in Wilmington was only a small portion of the community building activities throughout the year. Bake sales, documentary viewings, social outings, and UNC-wide HIV testing were also headed by the Community Building Committee. These events brought together not only the GlobeMed at UNC members but also other UNC students together into the conversation of global health.

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 GROW INTERNS: LENGTH OF STAY: WORK DESCRIPTION: On this year's GROW trip, interns conducted evaluations for all ongoing projects, including the PMTCT, goat-lending, and seed-saving projects. In addition, with funding from the Ronald W. Hyatt Rotary Public Service Award, the GROW team led 3 technology workshops to build on the capacity of HAU staff members, purchased updated technological supplies for the office, and selected 3 HAU clients to be recipients of a vocational school scholarship.
“The GROW trip has opened my eyes to a long list of challenges involved in running a community-based organization. It blows
my mind how Health Alert manages to overcome its challenges and helps so many
children in Northern Uganda. I have learned so much more about global health
this summer than I would have ever learned in a classroom. The GlobeMed-
Health Alert partnership is unique and I am thankful to have had this great learning
experience.” – Susan Violet, c/o 2013

WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE
GLOBEMED AT UNC-CHAPEL HILL joined 45 other GlobeMed chapters across the nation in a network-wide commemoration of the 4th Annual World Day of Social Justice during the week of February 20, 2012, by asking professors to dedicate five minutes of class time to a discussion on how poverty and social justice relates to their field of study. GLOBEMED TEACH-IN HIGHLIGHTS: The key highlights from our teach-in included the need to focus on health disparities and determinants of health and their impact on health care. They addressed social justice and how it relates to health care in that it involves fighting for the opportunity to be healthy and to get the healthcare you need. MORE WDSJ ACTION ----------------------------------- WDSJ: On WDSJ we hung signs around campus that asked rhetorical questions such as: "What do you see as an injustice?" or "How do you choose between education and health?" We also had a banner signing in the pit, a Krispy Kreme sale, and a SEA hat sale.
“INJUSTICE anywhere is a THREAT to JUSTICE everywhere.”
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
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.

WDSJ Action
"What would it look like to achieve social justice in health care? The expansion of Medicaid, recognizing that it's an injustice to not have insurance....etc. and how are we doing in the US? There is a lot of room for improvement."
And posing questions to their campus about global health and social justice issues.
“Summit gave me a chance to unite all the work that I've done in the past three years at the chapter level to create a vision of how my efforts translate to a national level, and showed me that I can truly become a leader in the global health field.”
-- Alex Ward, c/o 2012
2012 DELEGATES: Alex Ward
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.
2012 GLOBAL HEALTH SUMMIT
OUR FUTURE
Our goals for 2012-2013 are as follows: Be mentors for our younger staff, have more coffee dates between exec and staff, increase the amount of volunteer opportunities for staff, increase collaboration with local community partners, participate in Uganda-related events on-campus and in the community, have every staff member engaged in fundraising, and meet our fundraising goal of $10,000! We would also like to socialize more with our neighbors in blue a few miles down the road, and maybe even have a few events together.
“GlobeMed has helped me realize that I want a career in healthcare and it helped me connect to a group of people who are like-minded to me!” – Chris Martin, c/o 2015
