Netting Nations’ Goal Endorsed by Ghanaian Biomedical Research Institute

The scholarly aspirations of Netting Nations Executive Member Ana Samarjian were recently boosted by an endorsement from Dr. Alexander Nyarko, Director of the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research in Ghana, West Africa. The Noguchi Institute is a biomedical research facility that conducts research into communicable diseases, such as malaria, and nutrition. Dr. Nyarko lent his words in Ana’s proposal to become Fulbright Scholar in Ghana to conduct research on malaria education and prevention programs to maximize the effectiveness of Netting Nations and contribute similarly to all non-governmental public health organizations. The Fulbright Program is the United States Government’s prestigious educational grant program designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. Ana’s interest in the Fulbright program stemmed from her experiences as a student at the University of Ghana in 2006 and her travels across Ghana. The starkness of the problem of malaria cemented Ana’s desire to return with a solution. Netting Nations is committed to this goal.
