Please consider Voting for a project to improve Global Health.
 
Peace Care would connect the Peace Corps with physicians and health specialists. The project is currently in an online contest on 
Change.Org  of ideas that will be presented to the Obama Administration on Inauguration Day!!!!  This could bring significant press to Peace Corps and Global Health Issues.
 
Voting occurs from January 5 through January 15. Please visit
www.peacecare.org  to learn how to vote and read more about the project.
Summary descriptions are posted in English, French, Spanish, and Arabic. So, please pass this along to your friends, colleagues, and connections around the globe!!!
 
All we need are votes — but we will need a great number.  Please unite for this cause.  Together we can make a World of a Difference!
 
Sincerely,  
Andrew Dykens (RPCV Mauritania 97-99)
