About This Trip

Qiandao (Thousand Island) Lake's pristine water quality, and its significant role in the drinking water supply for eastern China makes it the perfect place to learn about public health. On this trip, you won't be learning from the sidelines, you'll be diving in (not literally, don't worry) to test water supplies, participate in local food hygiene projects, and present disease prevention research to both peers, and local authorities.
