As announced on the UN website, Dr. Paul Farmer, one of the founding leaders of GHD, has been asked by former President Bill Clinton to serve as the Deputy UN Special Envoy for Haiti.
“His credibility both among the people of Haiti and in the international community will be a tremendous asset to our efforts as we work with the Government and people of Haiti to improve health care, strengthen education and create economic opportunity,” said Mr. Clinton.
Over the past year, the GHDonline website has grown from just a concept to a full-fledged community website where health care implementers from around the globe discuss proven practices, engage in problem-solving, and address challenges to improve health outcomes in resource-limited settings.
None of this would exist without coders building the platform on which GHDonline runs. If you are a junior, senior, or graduate student in Computer Science and are interested in making a difference in global health, here’s your chance to join us!
We are looking for a pair of interns for the summer to develop new features and help us build the capacity to support even more members. Learn (or build on your knowledge of) the Django web application framework in an agile development environment with a startup feel!
If you’re interested, please read the PDF internship description for more details and directions on how to apply.
