Review for Global Refuge International, Arvada, CO, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

GRI serves in difficult places where the needs are great and other charitable organizations are reluctant to venture. I had the opportunity last fall to teach medics at the GRI course on the Thai-Burma border. It's an unstable area with only the most basic health care.

I was impressed by how much the medic students had learned in a short period of time, and how all the logistical challenges (housing, teaching facility, translators) had been overcome. This sort of training offers hope and practical assistance in this difficult area.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

The medic training course on the Thai-Burma border.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Work toward strengthening health care delivery beyond training. Expand this model to other areas.

Role:  Volunteer & Taught in a medic training course.
