– Jordan Jimenez Sison, Project Officer for Partnerships and Volunteer Program, AB2CD

About the Partnership
Alternative Bridge to Community Development (AB2CD) was organized by a group of professionals who were formerly affiliated with local and international NGOs in order to deliver interventions in basic education, psycho-social redirection, advocacy of universal rights and vulnerable child empowerment. AB2CD believes in the fundamental right of every person to live her or his life in dignity, and in every person’s obligation to behave as a responsible member of their community. The GlobeMed chapter at Wayne State University was drawn to AB2CD’s focus on community empowerment and a peaceful, rights-based approach to public health. Their partnership launches in the fall of 2012 and both AB2CD’s and GlobeMed at Wayne State University’s leadership are excited to kick off project design and fundraising.

Project
GlobeMed at Wayne State University and AB2CD will design a project, mobilize funds, and begin implementation in the 2012-2013 academic year.

Impact
GlobeMed at Wayne State University and AB2CD’s impact will be assessed once a project is identified and implemented in the 2012-2013 academic year.
