On the road again
This time, the destination is the area of Baltimore, Maryland, and a meeting with nursing students at Bowie State University in Bowie, Maryland.
The discussion was on health care and a possible partnership between Bowie in Maryland and the Urukundo Foundation in Rwanda.
SLK Health Corp. is the nongovernmental organization for the nursing school.
International recognition
An invitation to take part in Global Health Education Week at University of Maryland, Baltimore, was indeed an honor for me and the Urukundo Foundation.
The discussion was on health care and a possible partnership between Bowie in Maryland and the Urukundo Foundation in Rwanda.
In on the brainstorming discussion were Virginia Rowthorn, assistant vice president for global engagement at the University of Maryland, Baltimore and executive director of the Center for Global Engagement, and Bonnie Bissonette, director of education abroad and international safety at the university’s Center for Global Education Initiatives.
It was my pleasure to meet and be a part of this discussion.
The event was organized and chaired by Valli I. Meeks, DDS, MS, RDH, clinical professor in the Department of Oncology and Diagnostic Sciences in the University of Maryland School of Dentistry.
Valli has visited Urukundo and was instrumental in the start-up of Urukundo Dental Clinic in 2013.
