 Host the traveling exhibit "Against the Odds: Making a Difference in Global Health" at your ASPH-member school of public health.
The exhibit includes stories of those who take up the challenges to prevent disease and improve health care from multiple destinations around the world. It is available for display at schools of public health through summer 2009. Some examples of these stories showcasing are the "barefoot doctor program," which trained millions of young people to treat common ailments in rural China during the 1960’s and 70’s; a campaign for oral rehydration in Bangladesh; and how the Pholela Health Center in South Africa inspired the community health center movement in the U.S.
There is also a focus on domestic public health issues and historic public health campaigns, like the public health problems posed by Hurricane Katrina, as well as the role of activists in the U.S. during the early years of the AIDS epidemic.
