Weeklies

Hello CHI members,

This is your first CHI Weekly of the semester!  Here is a compilation of the events on campus that you may be interested in attending or becoming involved in and their respective contact information =)

Cornell Health International Opportunities:

If you missed the first meeting, here is a brief summary of the opportunities that CHI has in store for the semester.

1. Salubrion ( CHI’s own publication!)

If there is a certain topic in health that you are truly interested in and would like others to become aware of this issue?  Interested in reporting, journalism, or publishing?  If so, then becoming a writer for our journal is the perfect job for you!  What you write about is entirely up to you.  We only ask that the article you write about is related to health in some way.  It could be a domestic issue or an international issue, although we tend to report on issues occurring abroad.   We are constantly looking for writers to enlighten readers with new health concerns that we remain ignorant of.  If you think you would like to learn more and participate, contact Peter Meng at pms72@cornell.edu.

2. Domestic Projects

Looking for opportunities to get involved in the local community?  Think you would like to participate in educating youths on issues regarding nutrition? Then contact Adnan Abdullah @ ama226@cornell.edu.

3. The Gates Project

The gates project was an art project that took place in Central Park, NY from 1979-2005.  The project was coordinated and developed by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, and consisted of placing 7,500 gates throughout the park.  Each gate was sheathed in saffron colored cloths.

This semester, CHI is tackling on a new project based off of the gates project.  We intend to showcase our own version of these gates across the arts quad, but each gate will consist of panels depicting a health issue of concern that is taking place abroad.  In essence, we hope that as people trek across the arts quad, they will read our panels and become more conscious of current global health matters.  If you any ideas on how we can develop this project or would like to help us with building it, contact Jimmy Lam at jl948@cornell.edu.

4.   Unite for Sight

Once again, those of you who would like to attend the Unite for Sight conference and network with some of the world’s top NGOs, contact Jimmy atjl948@cornell.edu.
Follow the instructions:
1. Read up on the conference details: http://www.uniteforsight.org/conference/
2. Note the dates and make sure there are no conflicts with your schedule.
3. Co-pay will be $10 or more, depending on how much hotels cost.  Expect and do not be surprised to pay up to $50 for the co-pay though.  For now, we are looking at around $10, crossing fingers.
4. We will hopefully arrive by Friday night (leave Ith around 3-5pm on Friday) and stay Friday and Saturday night and leave Sunday 5pm.  this would be ideal.  If not then we will arrive early Saturday and stay for Saturday night and leave Sunday around 5pm.
5. If you decide this is right for you e-mail me the following information by Tomorrow (Tuesday 2/1) 6pm:
Your FULL name, your netID, and your year of graduation
6. If more than three (3) of you get back to me, then I will select from a hat.

5.  Global Health Minute

This semester we would like to do a little reporting of our own.  During general body meetings, we would like to have presentations on global health topics that are of interest to you.  You can be the one to present, or you can let us know what your topic is and we can try to present to the club. Raising awareness is an important aspect of our organization, and we are committed to recognizing health issues across the world.  We hope that we can let others realize what is occurring beyond the borders of this country, and hopefully inspire them to come up with projects of their own to aid foreign countries in their health related devastations.  This is an opportunity for you become more active in the club and for you to feel in tune with the objectives of our organization!  It’ll also be your moment to experience leadership!  We truly welcome all to participate! Contact Jimmy (jl948) if you have a topic of interest!

6. Joining Committees

Another way to really get involved in the club is to join a committee. We have several committees available that allow you to work closely with e-board members.  Some committee positions you may be interested in include internal relations, events coordinator, current events writer.   If there is a certain sector of the club that you would like to work within, please contact John Rhee at jyr5@cornell.edu.

Aside from CHI….

Heifer International:

Heifer International is hosting a Snowsculpting Competition THIS Saturday (5 Feb) from 1:30-3:30 in the Arts and Sciences Quad? $5.00 entry fee/team, and there is no limit on the # of people per team. Also, any snow-sculpture designs can be made (just phallic ones have to be removed at the end for obvious purposes). The winning group gets a Starbucks gift basket. And, FREE HOT COCOA will be served to all who attend!

Sincerely,

Karmen Au

Hello CHI Members!

Several exciting news:

1. E-board Recruitment:

2. Dining for Dignity:

Cornell Health International is co-sponsoring Amnesty International’s “Dining for Dignity.”  The event is significant to our purpose on Cornell’s campus.  The goal of this dinner is to inform members of the Cornell community the inequalities perpetuated by poverty.  Although tickets have already been sold out, you are more than welcome to join the open forum discussion after the dinner at WSH Memorial Room.  This open forum will be begin at 6:30pm and will host prominent professors including Professor Hobbs, Professor van de Walle, Professor Compa, and possibly Professor Dudley.  Other Sponsoring organizations include Citizens of the World, Farm to Cornell, Heifer International, ILR Global Affairs Club, and New World Agriculture and Ecology Group.

3. Rwanda Never Tasted Sweeter:

Come find us at our bakesales this Wednesday (11/10) at Duffield Hall and this Friday (11/12) at Ho Plaza between 11am and 2pm.  We will be selling baked goods and snacks in support of CHI’s winter Rwanda trip.  If you would like to help bake or if you would like to drop off some edible goods, please let us know; we’d like to give you credit.  Please visit our website to obtain an outline of the trip.  Unlike many international projects, the Rwanda trip is an opportunity to learn about the public health infrastructure that has made the healthcare system within Rwanda a success.  This experience allows members to meet prominent figures within Rwanda’s healthcare system.  Be on the look out in the future for a good time at The Nines and Level B (21+ of course) in support of this trip.  Contact Carlo Lutz at cll84@cornell.edu for more information.

Hey CHI!

I know I keep spamming your mailboxes, but I really wanted to remind you all that our big event of the week, the HAITI BENEFIT COCKTAIL, is coming up. I encourage you to come with all your friends to unwind after a long weeks of prelims and dine with us! Guest speaker, Professor Kenneth Hover will be giving us some insight on the structural damages inflicted upon Haiti after the earthquake! Please show Haiti some support and spread the news even if you cannot make it!

Once again, all proceeds will be donated to GHESKIO, Cornell’s clinic in Haiti. Since the disaster in Haiti, GHESKIO has been providing patients with emergency care and humanitarian assistance. They work hard to uphold their reputation of “never once shutting its doors or charging fees”. An establishment with such a worthy and selfless goal should not act alone, and I hope that all of you can find it in your hearts to offer whatever minimal amount of help you can to help GHESKIO in their efforts and offer some relief to the grief-struck people of Haiti.

I really hope you can join us on Thursday!!! For those of you with exams, GOOD LUCK! I repeat (as much as you hate me repeating), that having a nice dinner with your friends while listening to an amazing speaker is a great way to relax after a hard week of class and exams! I have attached to this email the poster for this event =)

So… on a final note, PLEASE COME!!

Yours Truly,

Karmen Au
