THE HONDURAN CONTEXT
 
June 29, 2020 - Today Mia Wallace, Program Assistant with the Train for Change project, which is part of the Students Helping Hondurans program, gave us an excellent overview of the project.  Her presentation can be seen by clicking HERE 
Mia explained how the initial goal of the Students Helping Hondurans program was to build  or rebuild 1000 schools in rural Honduras. The goal of the Train for Change project is to empower local Honduran teachers through professional development. The objective is to improve the quality of education for 1 million children in the most impoverished areas. Eleven percent of children in Honduras  are illiterate. The average attendance at school is 4 years compared to 12 years globally.   Rotary International has helped with the funding and the Train for Change project hopes to receive another grant to continue their work in some of the major cities. They plan to use a Train for Change channel on Tube to help with distance learning, A PowerPoint presentation is available by clicking HERE

All that we share
Here is a short exercise that was conducted in Denmark.  We need this kind of thinking here more than ever.
 
HEALTH IN AMERICA and COVID-19
 
June 22, 2020 - Dr Stephen Brezuchka, from the University of Washington Public Health organization, gave us a very informative talk that was designed to make us think about the status of our health in America. His talk is available by clicking HERE.  
Dr Brezuchka began by showing a graph of longevity in the world. Surprisingly, the U.S. is 35th and Japan is #1. We then went through some questions and answers as to why that is. There are several factors such as heart disease, obesity, and opioid use. His data showed that while we spend more money on medical treatments than any other country we don't spend enough on social problems. The gap between the rich and the poor correlates with longevity around the world.  He explained that data shows that longevity is also correlated with the health of a newborn for the first 1000 days since conception. His presentation was stimulating, though provoking and worth watching HERE. Dr Brezuchka invited club members send him an email if they have any further questions or comments. sabez@uw.edu.
