Passionate About:

Poor sanitation and poverty really bothers me. When the government of a country is not doing anything about it, it upsets me and I feel as being one who is more fortunate, it is my moral obligation to help.

About Us

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is a chapter of GB, the world\\\'s largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. The RPI chapter systematically works with more than 300 other university groups around the world to deliver and implement one of nine skill-based programs that benefit more than 130,000 Honduran and Panamanian community members annually. Global Medical Brigades develops sustainable health initiatives and provides relief where there is limited access to healthcare. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
