As our days wind down at Sewa Houston, we are finishing the tasks we set out at the beginning of the summer. In addition to planning a volunteer appreciation event, we have created our end-of-summer reports. These reports will assist future GIH interns as they begin to implement change next summer.
There is so much that we feel Sewa can accomplish. We hope that future public health interns will implement more health camps for the Bhutanese refugee community living at Los Arcos. We would like future health camps to include speakers from Houston Independent School District, and experts on the subject at hand.
We also would like to see both men’s and women’s discussion groups come to fruition. Although there was not time for these discussion groups to be implemented this summer, there is a great need within the community to open up about the issues that are important to them. Our vision for this group is that someone in the community will lead the discussion and a few interns will create discussion topics.
We’ve accomplished so much over the last nine weeks. Our only hope is that the future interns at Sewa will do the same.
