Queen's Health Outreach is an entirely student-run NGO at Queen's University dedicated to promoting health through needs-based peer education initiatives. The Guyana initiative is the longest-running outreach program within QHO, this being the 29th year. This year 4 Peer Educators (Tara, Britney, Hannah, Gwen) will be teaching in Georgetown, Guyana's capital city, for 7 weeks, while 6 other Peer Educators (Liz B, Hailey, Ciara, Delaney, Liz S, Nick) will be teaching in the region of Berbice.

Sounds like you all are doing good work! Keep it up, have fun, and be safe. It is really good that you have some solid local contacts to facilitate your reaching opportunities. As a previous QMO exec member, I know that the issue of sustainability was a major concern, and your linkages would definitely help with keeping your work going from year to year. Enjoy every second- as one who was there I know that I learned as much if not more than I taught, and was forever changed for my experiences in Guyana.
