By: Meredith L. Ritchie, White Ribbon Alliance Photo courtesy of the White Ribbon Alliance Uganda Uganda deserves praise! The government recently committed to recruiting more than 1,014 midwives; 1,436 nurses; 758 nursing officers; 223 medical doctors; 283 anesthetists; 1,101 clinical officers; and 1,360 laboratory technicians for the fiscal year of 2012-13, according to the White Ribbon Alliance of Uganda.

For my PhD work I almost made the same mistake. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Update Newsletter :: U of M students travel to Bolivia to provide clean water options.
When University of Memphis civil engineering master’s candidate Sarah Girdner traveled to the small Bolivian village of Yarvicoya in one of the poorest regions of South America last year, her initial reaction was of culture shock. Imagine her thoughts later when the community ran out of water. “That seems to be a common occurrence,” says Girdner. “It was a big shock seeing how these people live day to day. Many of them have no income. The only food they eat is what they grow.” But Girdner, traveling with a group of U of M students, was able to provide a sort of Johnny-on-the-spot type of service to the inhabitants: the U of M group had traveled high into the Andes Mountains to work on an ongoing research project that is designed to eventually install a clean drinking water and irrigation system to the small village, comprised of about 30 poor, indigenous families.
“The kids drink from the irrigation ditch,” she says, “and none of the water is filtered. SOIL | Transforming wastes into resources in Haiti. [current-page:page-title] | Action Against Hunger.
