Understanding Occupational Health among Informal Agricultural Workers in Gujarat, India

UVA-SEWA Partnership

This experience has instilled in me an appreciation for the paramount importance of personal relationships to successful grassroots public health work. Simple, informal conversations undertaken in a spirit of friendliness and open exchange often yielded some of our most valuable and rewarding insights. The sevikas, or community health workers, were our models; their inexhaustible commitment to the health and well-being of their families, friends and neighbors was unrivaled. – Patrick Robinson

Chocolate as medicine. Learning about the natural traditional remedies in Guatemala's rich Mayan culture was enlightening and essential to understand the perception of health and wellness. Interestingly, such beliefs involve the medicinal use of cacao. Watching the chocolate process, one can see and feel the healing power of chocolate that is carefully and thoughtfully prepared from roasted cacao beans, cinnamon and various other spices.
