Share photographs of your service and research abroad for potential use
on our Web site and in other School media, and potentially for framing
and display around the School!
Submissions should illustrate some aspect of public health — from
clean water to exercise to wholesome foods. We welcome shots from
across North Carolina, across the U.S., and from international
locations. Everyone, including faculty, students and staff, is
encouraged to participate.
E-mail questions or photographs to SPHphotos@unc.edu.
Below are samples of some of the photographs that have rotated on
the School's home page. These photographs were first featured at the
Student Global Health Committee's
International Photo Exhibit in April 2008.

Driftwood
While lounging on the beach in Paje, Zanzibar, I captured this woman
carrying firewood home to cook her family’s evening meal. After my
summer internship with the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation
in Uganda, I traveled to Tanzania where I took the photo.

Community volunteers in Mozambique
This picture was taken while implementing research in northern Mozambique on the motivations of community volunteers. The volunteers had worked on a nutrition and food security program with Save the Children in 2002-2006. They promoted exclusive breastfeeding until six months of age, complementary feeding (enriched weaning food), and the prevention of diarrhea with home-made oral rehydration practices.

Reducing infant mortality
I work with an organization called ONE HEART (Health Education and
Research in Tibet), based in Lhasa, Tibet. We work with in Tibetan
communities to reduce maternal and infant mortality. This photo shows a
woman who was in obstructed labor for 3 days, delivering in the barn
when our organization was contacted. She was brought to the county
hospital and delivered her daughter (bottom right), who is doing well.

A well of opportunity
I was a health volunteer with the Peace Corps in Niger from
2003-2005. This picture shows the traditional well that is the water
source in my village. With a depth of close to 16 meters, donkeys and
oxen were used to pull the water. As a result, animal excrement could
be found near and in the water supply, contaminating the water and
causing diarrheal diseases.

Madagascar found during a joint USAID-CDC HIV laboratory capacity
assessment trip.
