HEAL

Please support HEAL as we partner with 4G4C and HUGS (Help Us Grow Strong) to create solutions for our local homess population. We are fundraising for a suitable environment/land to build tiny homes in areas with public transportation, job opportunities, grocery stores.
We are also collecting new winter coats and blankets to help our neighbors in need stay warm this winter.

HEAL was extremely excited to visit Marshall Elementary School this week and share with fourth graders how the environment can have a direct impact on human health. This initiative was led by HEAL president, Arman Lateef, and vice -presidents, Mia Hicks and Sophia Qamari. We also had our amazing EN-bassadors, Fares Elsherbiny, Vivian Quint, and Layla Moussavi join us on this important mission.

In examining how environmental topics are currently covered within science curricula, HEAL leaders discovered a narrow focus on conservation and the effects of human activities on the environment, missing an opportunity to educate our youth on how the environment directly relates to their own health and well-being.

HEAL aims to revolutionize environmental education by creatively emphasizing how the environment directly impacts students’ own health, shifting the focus from being external and distant to very personal and immediate.

If you know a school or classroom that would like to have the HEAL team visit and educate their students, please contact us at https://www.heal4all.org/contact-us.

HEAL was proud to partner with the Health and Wellness Committee at the Dar al Noor mosque and volunteer at their free health fair. Environmental exposures and access to health care are huge social determinants of health outcomes and HEAL was happy to share information about our I-Care program with fair attendees.
