June 21, 2013: PPH students take public health service trip. In May 2013, a group of students from Stony Brook, Geneseo, Johns Hopkins, and U-Maryland traveled to Chacraseca, Nicaragua to build a home for a family in need. The student volunteers worked with community members to build a house from the ground up in just ten days. Current MPH students Brittany Kalosza and Brooke Pati and alumnae Diruba Khanam represented PPH on this public health service trip, organized through FriendsNE. Friends New England is a non-profit organization that promotes education and sustainable community development projects. For more information, visit their website.
