We travel globally to help organizations build their ability to address health issues that arise in their communities. The staff we train are usually locals who lack knowledge and confidence in treating even some of the most basic health problems but also have to deal with complicated issues as well – all this in the context of a low-resource health care environment. On two recent trips, we helped train organizations that reach out to local women in the sex trade, foreign nationals who are trafficked for sex work in Asia, vulnerable transgender people, and street kids who are homeless, abused, and exploited. The work ranges from workshops for staff, to individual health consultations, to drop-in, nighttime clinics.
