School based health clinics & Preventative Health Programs

Planning has started for efficient and sustainable school based health clinics for the schools' future students.

The goal is to provide primary health care, to teach students prevention and to train them to teach others basic healthcare tools so they may serve their communities in the future.

CHALLENGES OF THE GLOBAL VILLAGE

• Energy Provision
• Climate Change
• Sustainable use of materials (waste Management)
• Water
• Demographics/Urbanization
• Poverty
• HIV/AIDS

A SOLUTION: A sustainable eco-school community

Form follows function: We believe that a built sustainable environment will affect continued economic growth and positive change. We are creating a legacy where the campus itself will serve to educate the next generation about economic security, social betterment and environmental stewardship. We believe that the next generation should be taught about the challenges that we are facing today. We should allow students to see their role in creating this world by studying and creating for topics like global warming, sustainable development, transportation, waste management, health care, poverty, and even education. Its not about finding the right answer. Its about being in a place where students learn the different processes of thinking, learn about ambition, involvement, and responsiblity, along with academic subjects like science, math and literature.
