Melissa Roche has added her name to the long list of UNC School of Public Health students who are making a world of difference.  Melissa, with the help of the Student Global Health Committee, conducted a textbook drive for the community health department at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC) in Moshi, Tanzania.

Melissa and her committee members' main focus was to gather public health textbooks to help educate the students and citizens in Moshi.  Additionally, Melissa is currently helping KCMC register for a World Health Organization service that grants free access to full-text medical and public health journals to students and academic centers in low-income countries.

Melissa credits all of the individuals who donated textbooks as well as the faculty and staff at the School of Public Health and the Health Sciences Library for her success with the KCMC project.
