Overview

Students at the University of Maine at Orono, the University of Maine at Presque Isle, the University of New England in Biddeford and the University of New England Portland have established PWH Chapters at their schools.  Several other colleges and universities are in the process of establishing chapters. The students participating in the PWH Chapters care about both protecting our environment and about helping those less fortunate in the world.

 

Each PWH Chapter:

    - arranges and collects medical supplies from local hospitals and delivers them to a local PWH warehouse

    - provides education on global health to their community

    - travels to the Portland office once a month to volunteer in the warehouse

    - runs a Mobility Drive or a Crutch Drive annually

    - fundraises $10,000 to send a shipment to a country of their choice

 

Members of these chapters are eligible to apply for travel on our Medical Mission trips, which is an amazing opportunity at the collegiate level.
