Elementary school visits



This week, groups of CURA members visited Omaha elementary schools to talk to students about global heath issues, especially regarding pediatric health.

Today, we visited St. Bernadette School and interacted with the fourth grade social studies classes. Some of us spoke about vaccinations & infectious diseases, while others discussed geography and culture of the countries that CURA members will be traveling to this summer. There was also a discussion on the different types of foods eaten around the world, with emphasis placed on teaching the kids about healthy eating.

Overall, it was great to interact with the kids and help them learn a thing or two about the world around us!
