In the early 1990s, as a Peace Corps health volunteer in South America, Lisa worked in poor rural communities during a cholera epidemic. These communities had limited access to health care, the general public had a minimal understanding of what contributes to general health (for example, nutrition and handwashing), and there was unequal access to vital services such as clean, running water or toilets.
