Ben Braun ’16 is one of VHP’s newest volunteers and an active member of the Grant’s Committee. The following is Ben’s perspective on Vassar Project based on his experiences thus far:
This semester, I am attending Vassar as a visiting student from Georgia Tech
Sarah Oliver is a senior at Vassar College, majoring in Anthropology and pursuing a future career in medicine. In Vassar Haiti Project, Sarah is currently serving as the President of Internal Operations and is an invaluable member of the organization
Andrew and Lila Meade, Carly Ritter ’05, Dr. Dan Katz from the Medical Advisory Board, and Tamsin Chen ’15 are returning tomorrow from their week-long trip in Haiti
After four intense, productive, and amazing days in Chermaitre, the trippers are back in Port-au-Prince. Read on for a short update from them!
Apart from successfully holding a clinic day in the new Chermaitre-Fervil Clinic and meeting the local medical committee, we also conducted a small-scale census around the village, created a beautiful peace quilt with the women’s cooperative, received the cooperative’s first product – coffee from Chermaitre (!), and performed water and soil tests.
13 trippers say bonjou from Port-au-Prince! They are hitting one art gallery today before starting their long drive north. Before heading to Gros Morne (the town closest to Chermaitre), they will be paying a visit to Partner in Health’s University Hospital in Mirebalais.
