New NACH Faces



Since May of this year U.C. Berkeley School of Public Health graduates, Colleen Lynch and Lauren Baehner joined Seva's Native American Community Health Program as invaluable evaluation team members. We recently came back from South Dakota where Lauren worthily proved herself in gathering numbers and stories among our partners on Ihanktonwan tribal land and gardens.


Collen Lynch who has been steadily spending hours among our local Oakland partner, Intertribal Friendship House will be leaving shortly to assist in documentation of Ilinniagvik Attautchikun cultural activities at Camp Qalhaq, 12 miles north of Kotzebue on the Noatak River in north west Alaska. We wish her good luck on her travels!

Meet our newest edition, Tamara Joy from Albany New York. She has come in through a masters program at Brandeis University where she is studying sustainable international development. She's also off to visit our partner in Alaska alongside Colleen Lynch and Bonney Hartley, NACH program manager. We hope Tamara enjoys her 8 month stay!
