Naturopaths Without Borders- NCNM Chapter

Naturopaths Without Borders- NCNM Chapter NWB-NCNM began in September 2011. The chapter functions as a global health resource to students and doctors in and around NCNM.

The chapter was founded by Stephanie Culver and Kelly Philiba after witnessing a gap at NCNM in global health education and experiences available to students and doctors alike. Monthly general meetings focus on international trips, global health education, local project coordination, and fundraising. Chapter officers meet bi-monthly to facilitate smooth implementation of NWB-NCNM chapter ideas and

goals. The chapter works collaboratively with other global health groups on campus to sponsor global health month each year in April. Support from NCNM students and faculty is great and has allowed NWB to thrive. Fundraising is an important and necessary role of NWB-NCNM. A goal of the inaugural year is to establish fundraising events that may be carried on annually. Previous successful fundraisers have included Coffee for a Cause, Cranes for Consciousness, Cocktails for a Cause, Spring Clothing Swap and Chipotle Cause and Effect Day.

The ncnm volunteers are rocking it!

Naturopaths Without Borders: SCNM and Naturopaths Without Borders- NCNM Chapter students make a great team! This week they are enduring the rain and working hard to expand our work with Naturopathic care and education west of Cap-Haïtien, Haiti!

The mixed weeks allow students to learn from each other's strengths, as each Naturopathic medical school's stylistic differences shine through its students. By teaching NWB staff and learning about Haitian culture through our translators, we all become stronger, more well-rounded global citizens!

Help name the puppy, and come visit her over spring break!

*** Puppy names needed! ***

We have rescued a puppy! Found nearly dead in the street 2 weeks ago, she is now happy and healthy thanks to medicine, food, baths and lots of love. She is a natural guard, barking at various chickens and things she hears in the yard at night with those big ears.

Now, we need ideas for names! Let's hear them!

Last week the CCNM group tried out this clinic site in balimbe. We had a great day and saw some really interesting cases...
