Tommy and I met with Tom Hall, executive director of Global Health Education Consortium (GHEC) and Evaleen Jones, founder and medical director of Child-Family Health International (CFHI) at the facilities of the Reuters Digital Vision Fellowship at Stanford University in one of our regular meetings to discuss the development of wiki features for the Global Health Modules project. 

We decided to break the agenda to interview our two partner, nonprofit organizations and share with the world the amazing work they are doing.  Both GHEC and CFHI are empowering health students with the tools and services they need to bridge academia and bring health to underserved communities around the world.  The TAVOS team is honored to help them realize their vision. 

Enjoy!
