Global Health Forum, in partnership with SolesUnited and Crocs, Inc., is collecting Crocs and sending them to people living in Pémon, Venezuela in order to improve their health and quality of life.

So how do Crocs help improve people’s lives?
—Basic footwear improves hygiene and lowers rates of infections transmitted through barefeet, like tungiasis. These infections can greatly increase the risk of secondary infections, like tetanus, which can be lethal.

These infections are completely preventable—Please donate any available Crocs to be recycled and redistributed—collection begins after Spring Break!

Collection Bin Locations:

Shane Lounge
Sharples (top lobby)

(and as always, every little bit helps. GHF and the people of Pémon thank you!)

Students interested in the Buenos Aires Program for Fall 09 should contact Professor Diego Armus, darmus1@swarthmore.edu as soon as possible. There are still few available places. Swarthmore in Buenos Aires provides individually-crafted programs of study with total immersion in the academic, artistic, social and political life of Buenos Aires. It aims at serving students in social sciences, the humanities, and applied sciences interested in taking their Spanish to an advanced level of fluency, as well as those at beginner or intermediate levels. But along with its language improvement component students participating in the Swarthmore in Buenos Aires program will organize their work around three or more areas of interest (in any field or discipline) that may include directed reading on a chosen subject, a research project, community work, an internship in a lab or in a cultural institution. They will participate in individual weekly discussion meetings with their mentors – university professors, artists or researchers – as well as in open courses at several public and private universities. Academic oriented traveling (from Patagonia to Iguazu Falls to areas of the Argentine interior with a strong native American presence) could be part of the program’s offerings. Students may enroll for one semester or the full year. For a detailed description of the different ways in which you can plan your stay in Buenos Aires, please contact Professor Diego Armus, History Department and check the Program Web site: http://www.swarthmoreba.com.ar
