The Center for International Affairs and the Office of Undergraduate Studies are pleased to announce the winners for both the 2020 and 2021 Projects for Peace competitions. This $10,000 grant, offered through the Kathryn W. Davis Foundation, was created for undergraduate students to create grassroots projects for the summer—anywhere in the world—which promote peace and address the root causes of conflict among parties.
Due to the global pandemic, the 2020 winning project entitled “Donation of Medical Equipment to Environmentally Sustainable Health Clinic in Borneo, Indonesia” was unable to be implemented but is now moving forward remotely during Summer 2021. The aim of their project is to establish a partnership between the CWRU chapter of MedWish International and The Alam Sehat Lestari (ASRI) Clinic, an Indonesian non-profit based in the city of Sukadana located at the foot of the Gunung Palung National Park. ASRI’s mission is to protect the surrounding environment, improve community health, and protect Bornean residents from the effects of corporate greed. In addition to the donation of medical equipment and supplies, a comprehensive educational plan for ASRI staff on device setup, everyday use, and troubleshooting has been developed and will be implemented as well.
