We recently got news from RPCV Andrew Dykens (Mauritania 1997-99) about a new initiative he is undertaking to improve global health with a partnership with the Peace Corps. His project, called Peace Care, is one that would link US Residency Programs and the Peace Corps to improve the health of global communities. He let us know that he is working closely with the Peace Corps Masters International Program to develop a pilot project.
In the meantime, he is also seeking funding to get this pilot project off the ground. He has also entered his idea into Google's Project 10 ^100, which proposes that people vote and choose 20 semi-finalists for projects that will make the most global impact. Google is committing up to $10 million to implement the final 5 chosen ideas, so Andrew wants your help and support for his project.
You can find out more about Peace Care at www.peacecare.org and vote for the project at Project 10^100 starting Jan. 27.
