Six UBC students are embarking on a 6 week Go Global trip of a lifetime to Rwanda, Africa in May of this year. Come out and learn about our International Nutrition and Food Security project and what is means to be involved in community-based research and development.
| Date: | Monday, March 29, 2010 |
| Time: | 5:15pm - 6:45pm |
| Location: | International House, 1783 West Mall, UBC |
Please join Roberta, Gurjeet, Sharon, Melissa, Kaylen, and Sung Kyu for a fun and relaxed evening on Monday March 29th to learn about what's going on in Rwanda today and about the country's nutrition status (or should i say MALnutrition status!).
We are lucky to have 2 guest speakers who have extensive experience and involvement in international nutrition initiatives:
1) Dr. Judy McLean, UBC Professor (FNH 355; FNH 490)
- Dr. McLean is also a consultant for the World Health Organization (WHO) and is currently working on a supplementation program in Cambodia. She is also an advisor and co-author of the Nutrition Manual for the Millennium Villages Project in Africa, and has done work in Rwanda and Kenya. She will also be going with us to Rwanda in May!
2) Sarah Elder, Masters Student in Resource Management and Environmental Studies
- Sarah has done extensive health-related work in Rwanda and we look forward to hearing about her Rwanda experience!
This event is a great chance to learn about getting involved in international volunteer work, and a chance to learn some interesting facts about Rwanda.
Light snacks and refreshments will be provided!
Hope to see you all there!!
