Getting experience in global health

I’m attaching the link to an article that Allan sent out about getting into the global health field.  It seems that one of the hardest things for us to do is to get international experience.  Many, if not most, of us in the global health program are part-time students.  We have full-time jobs and bills and mortgages to pay.  To get into the field, however, we need at least a few months in the field working in another country.  This is expensive, but essential for our career development.  So, the question is….does anyone know of ways to fundraise, get scholarships, or paid internships overseas?  Are there programs at GMU that can help?  Any other thoughts on the subject?  What have students done in the past?  What were the costs involved etc?  Any thoughts would be really helpful!
