These videos and photos were taken in early March 2010, and they tell a bit of the story of how the earthquake has affected the rural area of Pestel, Haiti. The PSU-COM Global Health Center has partnered with Variety International, The Children's Charity to begin to address the great and pressing health needs in Pestel.
Thanks to donations by many individuals, businesses, and the hard work of 40 medical students a new health campaign is underway in Pestel to provide Vitamin A and Albendazole (an antiparasitic medication) to all children. We anticipate reaching about 15,000 to 20,000 children with these important medications!
