Global Gala 2017

Each year up to forty 4th-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing Students from the University of British Columbia, Okanagan Campus, have the incredible opportunity to travel to Ghana and Zambia, Africa, for an experience in International Community Development Nursing. Students fund their own travel and engage in fundraising to be able to support health care needs in each country. The Global Gala, an annual evening of dinner, music and silent auction, is planned and organized by the nursing students in partnership with the Okanagan Zambia Health Initiative (OkaZHI). The students are pleased to share that 100% of funds raised go to support health programs and initiatives collaboratively identified with our longstanding healthcare partners in both Ghana and Zambia.
