“During our meeting on Monday [of last week], we started off with a couple ice breakers. First, we challenged our members (in groups) to come up with 5 things they all have in common with one another and to share with everyone else. Next, we had them discuss health and human rights issues that they would like to work on this semester and in the future of CHHR at VCU. We talked a lot of about Richmond’s food desert, water quality, and even lack of healthcare accessibility. We talked about how CHHR was founded and how our focus on campus is to serve underprivileged communities. We talked about the amazing projects we have coming up – health and hygiene presentations at Fairfield Elementary School, sports physicals at Peter Paul Development Center, and food preparation at Ronald McDonald House of Charities. Over 30 people showed up to our meeting and many of them stayed after to discuss some ideas and let us know how excited they are to become involved!”
