Assume that classmates will be serving six months as volunteers in agriculture, education, or a similar capacity in a developing and recently war-‐torn country. Do the research and create a set of procedures that will prepare individuals for avoiding the diseases and dealing with medical issues in that specific country (BE SURE TO IDENTIFY THE COUNTRY). Topics might include safe food and water, insect protection, vaccinations, medical emergency contingencies, protection from the occasional gunfire, and the like. Be sure to provide background on the specific health risks travelers will face. Design your procedures as a two-‐sided brief reference card or an attrative three-‐fold brochure.
