20 THANK YOU
Friends of GlobeMed at CU-Boulder,
We take deep pride and are profoundly grateful to be able to
share with you GlobeMed at CU-Boulder’s accomplishments
over the past year. In broad strokes, they include raising
over $20,000 for our partner organization in Nepal, sending 6
students to work alongside our partner, attracting top global
health experts to speak to our community, and helping to
educate the next generation of leaders in global health.
Perhaps even more exciting than these quantifiable
measures of our achievements, however, is the
transformation that can be seen within our own organization.
In this critical year of transition, we have grown dramatically,
greatly extending our impact. What you might not see in
these pages is the team of 50 dedicated staff members
whose work underlies our success. As a team, we are
continually evaluating the work we do and documenting and
disseminating what we have learned in order to grow in all
the right ways as an effective and efficient student-run non-
profit. GlobeMed at CU-Boulder prides itself on turning good
intentions into effective action and has become an
organization that produces individuals who display an
uncommon mix of idealism, vision, effective leadership, and
practical engagement in the pursuit of social justice and
global health equity.
We humbly recognize that we are only able to fulfill our
mission thanks to the many supporters we have found over
the short span of two years who share our ambitious vision
of an equitable world. Together we must continue to
advocate in the broadest sense for higher standards in global
health, making the needs of people and communities
suffering from the burdens of poverty and disease our top
priority.
Many thanks,
Rosalind Dillon and Taylor Roberts

ABOUT US GlobeMed at CU-Boulder
In 2009 a group of four
students founded the
GlobeMed chapter at the
University of Colorado at
Boulder, turning a vision
into a highly effective
organization dedicated to
creating a more equitable
world.
Since the founding, a
relationship with Himalayan
HealthCare in Jawalakhel,
Nepal has blossomed into a
strong partnership valued
and respected equally by
both parties.
GlobeMed at CU has
visited HHC on 4 G.R.O.W
internships, currently has
51 dedicated chapter
members and has raised
over $40,000 in a span of
just 2 years to support
various projects of HHC.

HIMALYAN HEALTHCARE
KEY FACT: Average life
expectancy: Male-64 Female-67
KEY FACT: Malnutrition is the
underlying cause of at least 50%
of child deaths in Nepal.
[About Himalyan Healthcare]
FOUNDED IN 1992
Himalayan HealthCare (HHC) is a grassroots non-
governmental organization (NGO) that provides primary
health care, community education, and income
generation to people living in secluded and impoverished
regions of Nepal. The mission of Himalayan HealthCare
is to create sustainable development programs in the
remote areas of Nepal that will improve the quality of life
for its people. HHC has been operating for over 18 years
as a registered NGO within Nepal and has a board and
501(c)(3) status in the U.S. as well. GlobeMed at CU
Boulder partnered with HHC in 2009.
[WORKS IN JAWALAKHEL, NEPAL]
POPULATION: 35,000,000
HHC operates in the most remote regions of Nepal, working
with some of the poorest people in the world living on less
than one dollar per day. The government of Nepal provides
little health care support for its people, especially those living
in isolated areas. With such disparity in health care, HHC
began its work in Tipling, a small village no less than a three-
day trek to the nearest hospital. In Tipling, HHC established
its first health post to attend to the basic medical needs of the
villagers. HHC has since grown to construct a hospital in the
Ilam District of Nepal and support multiple projects focusing
on women's empowerment, nutrition, education, and income
generation in other villages throughout Nepal.

HIMALYAN HEALTHCARE
GlobeMed at CU-Boulder
[Why hygiene and sanitation?]
In the remote regions
of Nepal where HHC
operates, education
on the importance of
hand washing, oral
hygiene, and sanitary
cooking habits is
uncommon. To
combat diarrheal and
other diseases, health
and sanitation must
become a main focus.
The village development projects GlobeMed at CU
chose to support take place in the Dhading District
of Nepal where they were evaluated by the summer
2010 G.R.O.W. interns and were selected by the
chapter.
Village Latrine Program ($7,500): Provided $7,500 for a revolving
fund established in HHC’s villages which will allow for 30
household latrines to be built with a 50% financial commitment
from village members. This will allow for a total restructuring of the
water and sanitation situation in the villages.
30 FAMILIES WILL BE

[Why women’s empowerment?]
Largely a patriarchal
society, the women
throughout Nepal face
many issues such as
abuse and lack of
education. By
empowering and
educating women,
they can support their
families and
themselves for the
benefit of future
generations.

chose to support take place in the Dhading District
of Nepal where they were evaluated by the summer

chapter.
Income Generation Project ($7,500): Provided funding for an HHC
program that provides low-caste Kami women with income
generating opportunities. The impact of this program in the long-
term is to empower the women in order to help reduce high rates
of domestic violence and alcoholism, as well as to improve the
poor education and health in the Kami community.

GlobeMed at CU-Boulder
[Why nutrition?]
99% of Nepal’s
severely
malnourished children
(more than 100,000)
currently do not have
access to effective
treatment. Proper
nutrition, especially in
the first few years of
life, is critical to the
proper cognitive and
physical development
of a person.

chose to support take place in the Dhading District
of Nepal where they were evaluated by the summer
2010 G.R.O.W. interns and were selected by the

Nutrition Project ($5,000): HHC is currently providing severely
malnourished children with Ready to Use Therapeutic Food
(RUTF) in the remote district of Dhading and these funds will go to
support this initiative.

TREK THE BARS!!!
September 9, 2010 and
January 20, 2011
Two to three weeks into the
beginning of the semester, Trek the
Bars is held with no less than six
bars in Boulder's popular
downtown area. Marketing and
planning begins before school
starts, and profit is made by selling
wristbands for participants to
receive special discounts for the
one night at the selected bars.
Wristbands are sold at some of the
bars, restaurants and in the
University Memorial Center on
campus at least two weeks before
the Trekking night. Both events this
year had between 450 - 600
participants each.
Benefit Dinner
October 16, 2010
The annual Benefit Dinner was
held on the CU-Boulder campus
and provided GlobeMed at CU not
only with the opportunity to raise
money, but also to educate and
showcase its partner organization,
Himalayan HealthCare. HHC
founder and President Anil Parajuli
was able to attend the event and
gave a presentation on HHC and
the plight of the lowest caste Kami
women, who were the
beneficiaries of the funds raised
that evening. Through a silent
auction and open donation, people
were able to contribute to women's
empowerment, and through a
series of booths manned by
GlobeMed staff, attendees learned
about GlobeMed's practice.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE YEAR
GLOBALHEALTHU
Defeating disparities in global health is in the hands of
young people around the world. In order to continue
recent efforts to eliminate malnutrition, disease, and
abuse, it is critical that young people understand these
issues. GlobalhealthU at CU-Boulder focuses on
educating not only chapter members, but the entire
community surrounding Boulder so that others may join
this movement. Hosting public speakers such as Dr. Joia
Mukherjee, the Chief Medical Director at Partners in
Health, Anil Parajuli, founder of HHC, Heidi Wirtz, founder
of Girls Education International, and Dr. Daniel Wessner,
Director of the University of Denver's Masters in
Development Practice (MDP) program, allowed the
chapter to educate the Denver/Boulder communities
about injustice around the world. While pursuing an
education regarding pressing social issues and the
practices of other organizations internally, GlobeMed at
CU-Boulder sought to question the actions that are taken
in order to highlight the consequences and benefits of
proposed interventions. Approaching possible solutions
in this way provides the best framework for understanding
what needs to be done to improve the future of global
health. Understanding topics with such depth will allow
the CU-Boulder chapter to better evaluate and support
projects in the future.
globalhealthU is a GlobeMed
designed curriculum that enables
students to develop a critical
understanding of issues in global
health and apply this knowledge
to their work with communities
around the world

COMMUNITY BUILDING
TOTAL # OF CHAPTER MEMBERS:
# OF COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS:
Staff dynamic is an integral part of GlobeMed at CU-
Boulder. It is this organization's belief and experience
that a well-connected staff works more efficiently than a
group of mere acquaintances. Through community
building activities, a safe environment where all opinions
are listened to and respected is fostered. Some of
these activities included two staff retreats, where
attendees learned about differing opinions in public
health and created chapter learning goals; a handful of
non-business gatherings including a Thanksgiving
potluck and a picnic; and many different meeting-based
activities, where staff goofed around, intimately shared
feelings, and debated opinions. Through alternating
activities between GlobeMed-based learning goals and
family-style sharing, GlobeMed at CU-Boulder has
created a close-knit group of individuals who share
similar values and can easily adapt and grow.

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 GLOBEMED GROW INTERNS:
LENGTH OF STAY:
WORK DESCRIPTION: Three G.R.O.W. interns spent four weeks in Nepal
working and observing at Himalayan HealthCare’s
office in Kathmandu and their community hospital
in Ilam. In Kathmandu, the GROW members were
able to communicate with HHC staff about how
GlobeMed can better support their projects and
while in Ilam they observed the hospital operations
to provide feedback about potential improvements
in health care delivery. The winter trip provided a
great opportunity for the interns to interact and
strengthen relationships with HHC staff and see
first-hand how much the work we do in Boulder
impacts an organization half a world away.

"My GROW trip to Nepal allowed me to fully grasp why we, GlobeMed and Himalayan HealthCare, work so hard. What we strive for is more than just a change. It’s a commitment to the
world, and a commitment to humanity. I am forever tied to this movement."

WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE
GLOBEMED AT CU-BOULDER joined 31 other
GlobeMed chapters across the nation in a network-wide
commemoration of the 3rd Annual World Day of Social
Justice on February 20, 2011, by asking students,
professors, and community members on campus an
open-ended, thought provoking question relating to
social justice.
OUR QUESTION: What does women's
empowerment mean to you?
BEHIND THE SCENES: [GlobeMed at CU-Boulder
decided to focus on the issue of women's
empowerment because of the impact that women can
have on the rural villages in Nepal and throughout the
world. Many women in the villages where HHC works
participate in a women's empowerment program to
prevent alcoholism and domestic abuse from their
husbands. Forming a women's group allows them to
uphold anti-liquor laws and offer support for one
another if domestic violence is present in the
household. The ultimate goal was not only to spread
the word about daily abuse rural Nepali women face
but, more importantly, to show that women around the
world are often the key to defeating poverty. Focusing
on the impactful videos of thegirleffect.org allowed
people who had not been previously exposed to
women's empowerment to see the positive influence a
woman can have on her entire family.
What does
women's
empowerment mean to you?
WE ASKED OVER 38 PEOPLE AT CU-BOULDER.
HERE’S HOW THEY RESPONDED >>

Speaker Heidi Wirtz from Girls Education
International: Heidi Wirtz, a world renounced
climber, spoke to students about her amazing
experiences climbing that led her to co-found Girls
Education International, an organization that
supports educational opportunities for underserved
females in remote and undeveloped regions of the
world. Witnessing the shortage of education in
many girls' lives around the world inspired her to do
something to help reduce the disparity.

"Summit was a life-changing moment in my life. From the
solidarity for global health equity, I felt like I truly belonged
during the whole conference. I realized that I am able to
take action within such a movement without having any
academic qualifications. Summit has increased my
knowledge and passion for global health equity and it has
helped motivate me to take a more integral role within my
own chapter.”

OUR FUTURE
The goals for GlobeMed at CU-Boulder during the 2011-
2012 school year are bold, yet attainable with the right
group of individuals and level of efficiency. Without setting
high goals it would not be possible to continue to grow
exponentially while benefiting the people of Nepal.
Financially, the chapter intends to raise funds accumulating to
a total of no less than $25,000 for Himalayan HealthCare
sponsored projects. In order to promote this growth,
improvements will continue to be made to several aspects of
the organization, including the Campaign Council so that
fundraisers may be as productive as possible. Collaboration
between all campaigns, Executive Board members, and the
Community Advisory Board (CAB) will ensure the
effectiveness of the Campaign Council. Utilizing the
GlobeMed at CU-Boulder CAB for additional advice will allow
the chapter to see where it can go and what steps are needed
to obtain the 2011-2012 goals. To create a larger presence
within the Boulder/Denver area, building more diverse
partnerships in the greater Boulder community will become a
greater focus. Currently, GlobeMed at CU-Boulder is in the
process of finding a local partner with which to collaborate,
hopefully to the benefit respective organizational goals.
Another area of focus will be co-sponsoring events, which will
allow for a more financially pragmatic approach and a wider
audience for the movement for global health equity.
Finally, plans to launch a website this coming year dedicated
to GlobeMed at CU-Boulder are underway. This will give the
organization greater transparency and keep everyone
updated about future events. Stay in touch this coming year
to hear about all activities including a human rights fair in the
spring of 2012!
"GlobeMed gave me a network of individuals as passionate about public
health and development as I am. It gave me the knowledge to make a
difference. Most importantly, it allowed me to travel and see these disparities
with my own eyes. GlobeMed changed my college experience. I love my
GlobeMed family!“
