GlobeMed at Rutgers Annual Report 2012-2013

Presidents’ Message GlobeMed at rutgers University Dear Friends, The 2012-2013 school year was a transformative one for GlobeMed at Rutgers University. As an organization, we faced the challenges of internal restructuring, creating a greater presence on campus, launching and executing mulitple campaigns at once, and learning to work with our partner, Cooperation for Social Services and Development (CSSD) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, through their ups and downs. / At the start of the Fall 2012 semester, we had committed to working with CSSD to strengthen their HIV/AIDS reduction intitiative among women entertainment workers in Phnom Penh. Together, we discussed how the project could be improved and set a fundraising goal of $5617. In total, we raised $8350 for our partner, passing our goal and creating a solid platform of campaigns, events, and fundraising strategies to be built upon in future years. / We would like to thank all of our supporters for our successes this year. To the staff at CSSD, for its unwavering commitment to changing the social fabric of Phnom Penh, and bringing hope and health to its most marginalized populations. And to the Rutgers community, for embracing our organization and engaging with our mission towards achieving health and social justice for all. However, this year perhaps most of all, we would like to thank the GlobeMed at Rutgers staff, who were the real engines behing our achievements. The way you organized to put together creative campaigns, worked to win the April GlobalGiving Open Challenge, and deepen your understanding of global health issues throughout the year has been nothing short of inspiring. It's been an honor and an absolute pleasure working alongside such passionate students.
