This Saturday, ONE will receive a special award from Virginia-based partner organization Physicians for Peace, for our grassroots efforts to fight extreme poverty and preventable disease. Dedicated to the ideal that health care in the developing world can be best improved by providing training and education to health care professionals, Physicians for Peace has touched the lives of people in more than fifty countries around the world. ONE is proud to partner with a service organization that is engaged in such crucial and meaningful work.
We’d also like to thank the people who made this award possible: ONE members like you. In choosing ONE as the recipient of the Charles E. Horton Humanitarian Award for Global Health, Physicians for Peace honors the efforts of all ONE members for raising awareness, taking action and serving as advocates for the world’s poorest people.
The Physicians for Peace Gala Reception will take place this Saturday, 3 Oct 2009 at 6:30pm at Convention Center in VA Beach. You can find more information here.
