Subject: Faculty of Health Students - Announcement about Global Brigades



My name is Annly Park and I am one of the Outreach Directors for the University of Toronto's Global Brigades organization. I am reaching out to you today in regard to recruiting York University students to join a multi-university initiative, where we aspire to gather a team of like-minded students who are passionate about public health.


Global Brigades is one of the largest student-led organizations that focus on sustainable development and empowering communities. We are planning on sending a Public Health brigade team to rural communities in Honduras in early May, where our goal is to prevent water-borne and sanitation-based diseases by improving living conditions through the construction of latrines and hygienic stations. This would provide a leadership opportunity for your students, as well as providing Health Studies students with first-hand experience to observe the inequality and global determinants of health


If you would be so kind to post about us on class announcement sites or circulate an email to students in the program, it would be greatly appreciated. Our application for the Public Health Brigade is now open and so we have provided an attached document containing a quick template about Global Brigades and a link to our application that you could use for an announcement.

Lastly, attached are some fast facts about the Global Brigades organization for your own interest.

Thank you very much for your time,

Annly Park
