Art Contest - Win Free Student Registration for The Network: TUFH 2008 Conference

Global Health through Education, Training and Service (GHETS) is sponsoring a contest to design the front of our 2008 holiday greeting card. Any individual health professions student from any institution worldwide may submit either their own original artwork, or artwork created by children or youth from their communities. The individual student whose entry is selected by the judging panel will be awarded free student registration for The Network: TUFH conference in Colombia in September 2008. The winning design and information about the artist will appear on GHETS’ 2008 New Year’s greeting card, which will be sent to nearly 300 partners and donors worldwide. Packages of greeting cards will also be sold to raise money for GHETS and our international partners, so your artwork could be seen by hundreds of people!

All entries must be received by Friday August 1, 2008.

Drawings, paintings or other similar artwork in any medium (pen, pencil, paints, etc.) are acceptable. Entries should reflect general themes related to global community health, but should not include the name GHETS or holiday greetings (which will appear inside the card). The final size of the greeting card will be no larger than 13 cm x 20 cm, so your design should fit into this space, either horizontally or vertically. All entries should be original work, either of the student making the submission, or of another young person who has agreed to let you submit the artwork on his or her behalf. Students may submit more than one design, but all entries become the property of GHETS and will not be returned.

Please include the following information with each entry, on a separate sheet of paper:

Uganda aftermath

This is a great story we would like to share with you:

When Barbara Cameron, a medical student from Australia was in Uganda for the Network: TUFH conference last year she visited the Kampala women's prison with a young English lawyer who was working to get health clinics and libraries into East African prisons. The prison itself was pretty horrid. Lots of malaria HIV TB etc. Babies stayed with their mothers until the mother was executed. They had little food and needed milk.

After Barbara got back she told the Legal Aid lawyers in Newcastle and they raised money to buy a cow to provide milk for the prisoners and their children. Got a Fresian because of higher milk production than the local cows.

The attached photo is Pasha Bulcow being handed over at Kampala Women's Prison. The cows name comes from Pasha Bulka, the name of the ship which was washed up on Newcastle Beach, Australia during the huge storms last June.
