by Inaki De Larrauri, for the Fall 2020 Symposium on Community Engaged Scholarship.
This presentation was selected as a Fall 2020 Nashman Center Exemplar.
This is my personal experience working as a volunteer at Lacorsalud in their new Covid - 19 initiative in Bogota, Colombia.
This project was part of Dr. Naamal DeSilva’s course, SUST 3097-30: Community-Engaged Research to Promote Environmental Justice. Students in this course work to create a shared understanding of the intersections among environmental, technological, socioeconomic, and political problems and opportunities within communities. They study specific problems faced by DC residents (or local communities during COVID-time), and then engage community-based stakeholders in researching, understanding, and addressing these problems.

Wow this work is so impressive! The community engagement and initiative it takes to organize the whole operation and work to educate others is very admirable. Amazing work and presentation.
It is great to see the level of work that went into educating your community. I wish I could see a little more data on how many people from the 2,000 that were informed were receptive to the information.
