Elizabeth Asonye (Duncan ’19) will serve with FSD International this summer in Masaya, Nicaragua for nine weeks. In Masaya, she will work as a public health and education intern at the Centro de Salud (CS) Monimbo health center. The Health Center has many opportunities to pursue outreach and public health education in urban and rural communities. She will help plan, implement, and evaluate the daily educational workshops at the clinic and travel to rural outposts (puestos de salud) in Masaya to engage communities on thematic topics (such as sanitation, disease and diarrhea, child nutrition, and cervical cancer) and public health campaigns. This internship will provide her the opportunity to develop her skills in the public health sector while serving local communities in Nicaragua.
