Four of our undergrad students did fieldwork in India this summer with @udayancare, an NGO that provides residential care to orphaned and vulnerable children. Senior @mounikapogula took this photo of a mural on a wall in one of the homes. Currently, there's a push internationally for non-institutional alternative care solutions for children, but Mounika writes,
Nice to get some #facetime with a few of our international collaborators this week in Galle, #SriLanka! The #DGHI contingent includes professor Truls Ostbye (center). Also pictured are Vijitha de Silva, professor at University of Ruhuna and DGHI adjunct (left) and Guus ten Asbroek (right) with the University of Amsterdam.
Repost: @theglobalhealthstudent - happy about my second summer MOOC! The Challenge of Global Health from Duke University -- learning so much! 🐣.......... So glad to hear you're enjoying the course. It's a great #GlobalHealth primer taught by one of our most popular, engaging professors. And best of all ... it's free knowledge! 😊Thanks for the shout-out, @theglobalhealthstudent, and best wishes in your global health journey!
Thanks, @delaneyyhopee, for sharing this #BassConnections team photo from #Peru! Y'all look fab in those #DGHI t-shirts! Can't wait to hear about your research!
#DGHI Marketing & Events Specialist Courtney McGowan gettin' #swaggy with our new promo items!
A couple weeks ago, two giant trees in front of #DGHI were cut down after branches fell and hit two cars. No one was hurt, thankfully, but we're missing our trees and trying to get used to our new landscape ... or lack thereof. And then ... this cool little cairn popped up over the weekend! We agree: DGHI is indeed a noteworthy landmark! 😊
#DukeMScGH students @shashlb, Kevin Ramseur II, and @dillogan93 take a break from their fellowship course week in @duke_sanford’s Program on Global Policy and Governance. This photo was taken at the @who office in Geneva, where they gave presentations on tobacco taxation and sugar tax and emergency preparedness. The backdrop is a painting, a gift from Brazil, in the main hall of the WHO. @duke_sanford_goes_global #DukeIsEverywhere #DGHIproud

Last month, #DGHI board of advisors member Tom Gorrie, his wife Meg, their son Alex and his fiancée, Mary, traveled to Moshi, Tanzania, for the unveiling of a plaque honoring the Gorries for their extremely generous support of the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center-Duke collaboration. Former DGHI director Mike Merson, DGHI research director John Bartlett, and several other Duke faculty members and students were present for the ceremony and visit. We are incredibly grateful for the Gorries' support of our work in Tanzania. #DukeIsEverywhere
