Global Health Action and
the Faith and Global Health Caucus of the Global Health Council
present:

Meaningful Partnerships for Public Health in Haiti – at the Intersection of Church, State, and Community

A year after the earthquake which devastated Haiti, we look back at a year of relief, rebuilding, international response, and essential but mostly short-term interventions, and ask . . .

What has worked? What's not working? What should be the role of the faith community, both in Haiti and in the U.S.? What do the people of Haiti really need? How can we support a community-based response? What comes next?

Join us for lots of questions and as many answers, and please pass on this information to colleagues and friends who may be interested.

• When: Wednesday, January 19, 2011, from 12 noon to 2 pm
