BIO 104 - Health for Haiti
Students will explore the dynamics between poverty and healthcare, address specific health-related needs of Haitian people, and learn historical, cultural, economic, political and spiritual aspects of Haiti. Students will engage in service projects at orphanages, hospitals, health clinics and food distribution centers in Haiti. Specific service projects will be designed based on the pre-existing skills of the students and the most pressing community needs as identified by our partners in Haiti. The course will foster fellowship and cultural humility, provide humanitarian assistance to the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and prepare students to participate in a dynamic, global world.
