Victor Roy writes from Cambridge University
by Jon on December 14, 2009
Victor Roy, GlobeMed's previous Executive Director and current Gates Scholar studying sociology and global health at Cambridge University in the UK, was recently featured in the latest edition of The Gates Scholar, their quarterly magazine.
An excerpt:
"Its quite remarkable how far GlobeMed has come since 2007: we've grown from seven to nineteen chapters, from 100 to over 400 students, and positively impacted twenty-one communities around the world through health projects. This fall, GlobeMed is launching the "imagine 2030" (http://www.imagine2030.org) campaign to bring this movement for global health equity to sixty universities over the next two years. Through this campaign, GlobeMed is looking to mobilize hundreds of new students, community-based partner, and supporters interested in shaping the future of global health. By 2030, these sixty chapters will have produced 30,000 alumni committed to global health equity throughout their lives.
Twenty years from now, we hope that we'll look back to this moment as the time when we joined together to begin the hard work required to build the world that we imagine."
