For ISF students doing research on global health issues:
Please see the attached flyers regarding an upcoming global health presentation and discussion of the community health work of GRAVIS in rural Rajasthan, India.
Flyer #1
Flyer #2
The presentation is organized by IDEX, whose executive director is a former ISF student, Rashasvini Bhansali. A friend of Vini and myself, Dawn Surrat, visited some of the GRAVIS projects (women-run water catchment, sustainable agriculture and a small hospital) in early 2009. She reports that it was inspiring and humbling work. GRAVIS' methods really do capture the 'community' base of community health.
