Each student-run Cross Cultural Education and Service project culminates
when the students act upon the knowledge they gained through the educational
component. This service component has two aspects: community
development and clinical and public health.
Community Development: The communities that the Cross Cultural Education and
Service projects work with usually do not have the resources available to
adequately construct needed facilities. The Community Development Team works
closely with Bridges to Community and URACCAN students to identify the need of
the local community, and with the help of the community members, construct
the facilities.
Clinical and Public Health: Again, the communities that the Cross Cultural
Education and Service projects work with are usually under-resourced in terms
of medical equipment and knowledge. Our projects aim to provide health care and
medicine as well as attempt to educate the community on public health issues
like personal hygiene, endemic health problems, and infectious diseases such as
malaria and AIDS.
