Friends of GlobeMed at Depaul:
GlobeMed has given us a chance to learn and
explore leadership characteristics we never knew I
possessed, and it allows us to express our passions
about global health equity with fellow students
around the country.
Because each chapter has their own partner in
different areas of the world it gives us a chance to
learn not only about the health issues in Guatemala,
but many different places. Each chapter works on a
different project, and we are always interested in the
new and interesting ideas they have come up with
to help form sustainable health care in their areas.
What we love the most about GlobeMed is working
with the Pokomchi people, so we can truly
understand their needs and empower them while
expanding our own knowledge of the world. In the
future I hope to help ASOSAP with larger projects
and to give them every ounce of passion we have.
On behalf of GlobeMed at DePaul, we welcome
and encourage you to be part of making the world a
healthier place.
With hope and gratitude,
Ashley Snouffer and Rose Diskin
2010-2011 Co-Presidents

ABOUT USGlobeMed at Depaul University
In 2007, two students at
DePaul University, who
knew that their life’s
ambition was to be involved
in health care, discovered
the organization GlobeMed.
The strong emphasis on
equal health care for all and
the sustainable structure
with existing grassroots
organizations made their
decision to found a chapter
effortless.
Our Chapter established
our partnership with
ASOSAP in 2007. Our
projects have allowed us to
fix up a health post that
services over 3,000 people
and built water tanks for
two families.
since our founding in, our chapter
has grown from to members.

KEY FACT: The 50,000-100,000
Pokomchi makes them one of
the smallest and least developed
groups in Guatemala.
KEY FACT: Number of people

highest nationally (75%)
[About Asociación Sakombal
Pokón (Hope of the Pokomchi)]
FOUNDED IN 2004
In 1999, Bill and Linda Brierly traveled to
San Cristobal, Alta Verapaz, Guatemala,
both lived to serve the Pokomchí tribal
group living in the mountains of that area.
They started with the Christian
organization Food for the Hungary, then
with the Christian organization Helps
International. In 2004, Bill and Linda
decided to form their own organization,
Hope of the Pokomchí, ASOSAP, to work
to empower the Pokomchi people.

VERAPAZ, GUATEMALA]
POPULATION: 5,000
Guatemala was once a region dominated by the Mayan
civilization. Guatemala gained independence from Spain in
1821 and has suffered through wars and dictators. The
Guatemalan Civil War ended in 1996 after more than 450
Mayan villages were destroyed and over 1 million people
became displaced within Guatemala or became refugees.
Over 200,000 people, mostly Mayan, were killed during this
civil war. This developing country still faces many social
problems and is among the 10 poorest countries in Latin
America. The distribution of income remains highly unequal
with more than half of the population below the national
poverty line.

[Why water and sanitation?]
These water tanks will give two families access to clean water
and protect them from water borne disease, many of which
can be deadly because they cause severe diarrhea, especially
in children. Providing access to clean water empowers the
families by decreasing the threat of water borne disease. The
easily accessible water also increases productivity because
less time is spent looking for water.
Aiming to raise $1,240 to fund two water storage
tanks and a latrine in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala
GlobeMed at DePaul is funding the construction of two water
collection tanks each costing $534 along with the labor, for a total
of $1,240. Each tank holds 4,000 liters and will supply two families
with clean water and allows the community to meet the basic
human need of access to clean water.

GlobeMed at DePaul
Dodge ball Tournament
FEBRUARY 22, 2011
This year at GlobeMed at
DePaul we had two main
campaign events. The larger
of the two was a dodge ball
tournament in February. The
main competitors were
members from the DePaul
dodge ball team along with
other friends and even the
founder of GlobeMed at
DePaul! Everyone was
extremely enthusiastic and
we raised $140. Our other
campaign events were dorm
drives in which members of
GlobeMed would go into the
dorms and ask for donations
in exchange for candy.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE YEAR
GLOBALHEALTHU
GlobalhealthU was what really brought our chapter
together this year because it not only broadened our
views on global health issues, but also enabled us to
learn from each other’s experiences.
I think the best discussion we had was centered on
the idea of how the food throughout the world is
distributed because we started off with an activity
where six of us were different countries and given
bags of candy. The other members told us how we
should divide up the candy so it would represent the
food distribution of the world. It was great to learn
the differences between which countries we think
would have a greater source of food but actually do
not. This got us to think about other countries that
have great need, but they are not located in the
typical areas that we would commonly think of.
globalhealthU is a GlobeMed
designed curriculum that enables
students to develop a critical
understanding of issues in global
health and apply this knowledge
to their work with communities
around the world

# OF COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS:
In our two chapter retreats this year I feel like our group
has really started to get to know each other better, and
to have a better understanding of GlobeMed as a whole.
For our beginning of the year retreat we went to the
Lincoln Park Zoo, so the group was able to hang out
and get a more detailed description of the roles for each
member in the chapter. For our final retreat we went for
pizza, and were able to set some really great goals. We
also discusses what we thought had worked and had
not worked this past year.

Through service and team-building events, community and camaraderie is
fostered around global health and social justice within GlobeMed chapters, the
GlobeMed network and surrounding communities.
WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE
GLOBEMED AT DEPAUL UNIVERSITY joined
31 other GlobeMed chapters across the nation
in a network-wide commemoration of the 3rd
Annual World Day of Social Justice on February
20, 2011, by asking students, professors, and
community members on campus an open-
ended, thought provoking question relating to
social justice.
OUR QUESTION: What is the most unjust
thing in the world?
BEHIND THE SCENES: [We really hoped that
by getting people to think about what they
thought was the most unjust thing in the world
they would be better able to realize how lucky
we are to live in the United States. We also
hoped that it would help people better
understand the huge differences between how
people live based on what they have access to.
What is the
most unjust
thing in the
world?
WE ASKED OVER 3 PEOPLE AT DEPAUL UNIVERSITY.
HERE’S HOW THEY RESPONDED >>

“I loved going to the summit because it really opened
my eyes to how big the GlobeMed network is, and it is
great to know that there are other chapters all over the
country working for the same goals.”

OUR FUTURE
For the coming year our goal is to raise
$3,000 for ASOSAP.
This will fund two water tanks and two latrines to
give rural families in Guatemala access to clean
water.
We also plan to have a full and dedicated
Executive Board along with fifteen staff
members, and will do two to three large
campaigns each quarter. Throughout the year
we would also like to put on two to three
globalhealthU events to get our campus more
involved in what we are doing.
To donate: http://www.razoo.com/story/Globe-
Med-At-Depaul to help build water tanks and
latrines to prevent water borne disease in
Guatemala.
GlobeMed has made me realize that the movement for global health equity
needs more than just health professionals to push it forward. The movement
needs people in all professions to be socially aware and willing to take a
stand to make a lasting impact.
