Our Vision
Who we are:
Who we are:
The LANSI team consists of eleven nursing students, three health science students and one political science student from the University of Western Ontario. There are five nursing students who are working together this year to raise $13,000 to return to Cuzco, Peru to continue making a difference in Latin America. They are operating under the guidance of the six UWO students who established LANSI (formally known as LANSM) in 2008. Behind the scenes are three UWO students who are developing a global health course outline. Our goal is to lobby faculty and eventually implement it into our curriculum to give nursing students the opportunity to learn about global health in a practical and theoretical setting.
