Due to systemic barriers around healthcare access, children of refugee and immigrant populations are often more likely to develop chronic health conditions. Combatting health misinformation around these conditions becomes increasingly difficult when these children are faced with cultural and language barriers.
Working with South Hills Interfaith Movement (SHIM), Purva and Sneha’s project will utilize art as a means of communication and education. Through art and design, Purva and Sneha will not only bridge cultural barriers but also incorporate traditions and expressions while teaching children valuable communication and healthy living skills. Their fellowship goal is to create a healthier and more artistic future.
