The goal of the student group, the Honduras Medi- cal Brigade, is to improve the quality of life in communities in developing countries such as Honduras and Ghana. The organization, which is affili- ated with the international non-profit Global Brigades, is divided into five different clubs: dental, medical, micro- finance, public health and water. LSA senior Rikav Chau- han, a Honduras Medical Brigade finance and fund- raising chair, said a club may choose to start with an infra- structure initiative and then progresa to finance, business, water or other more devel- oped public health projects. The Honduras Medical Brigade began at the Uni- versity in 2006 as a public health and medical outreach club, and members have since taken more than six trips to developing countries. The club's~goal is to have nine dif- ferent clubs on campus and to expand with projects in architecture, business, envi- ronment and law. "We're trying to cover all of the bases of creating a sus- tainable and livable commu- nity,' Chauhan said. The club also hopes to expand awareness on cam- pus of the developing coun- tries' needs, Chauhan said. He added that he thinks the club; is unique because rather than providing a one-time fix, Global Brigades strives to make a community self- sustainable in the long term. "We want these communi- ties to be sustainable in the future, without the necessary presence of Global Brigades at those future times," Chau- han said. - BRANDON SHAW Newsroom 734-418-4115 opt.3 Correctionss corrcetions@mich~igandaily.com Arts Sectin arts@michigandaily.com Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales display@michigandaily.com Online Sales onlineoda@michigandaily.com News Tips news@micigandaily.com Lettensto the Editor tot hedaily@oiohi gandaily.om Editorial Pale opinion@eichigaedaity.oon Photography Sectin photo@michigandaily~om Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.om Finance finance@michigandaily.com 0, Members of the Honduras Medical Brigade.
