Global Poverty and Health Crisis

I first wanted to start off by thanking Emma and Sarah for describing such an incredible experience at the conference they attended!

Speaking of conferences, I received an invitation in the mail for two different conferences regarding Global Poverty and Health Crisis lead by renowned faculty at UC Berkeley. I extend the invitation to anyone who is interested.
