PROJECT I LOVE SCHOOL HAITI
55% of Haiti's population lives below the international poverty line and less than half of the adult population are able to read. emerge poverty free is investing in education so as to give the most vulnerable children opportunities for the future.
Starting in 2009, emerge poverty free began providing education to the pupils of Good Samaritan School located in Cité Soleil, Haiti. Cité Soleil is an informal settlement, one of the poorest but most populous areas around Port-au-Prince. One year after the earthquake, emerge poverty free begun the I Love School campaign to help rebuild and support the Good Samaritan School, and four other nearby schools, all destroyed by the earthquake.

Accreditation
Colorado State University is Regionally Accredited
Colorado State University is regionally accredited, which means the University carries the highest level of accreditation available in the United States.
Colorado State is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission, a Commission of the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges. To ensure academic excellence and fiscal stability, this accreditation requires an institutional review at a minimum of every ten years.
As Colorado State University reaffirms its academic accreditation through the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association, the University has prepared a self-study which is posted, along with other information about the accreditation process, for review online at
All academic degrees and credit courses offered online, at a distance, and off campus through Colorado State University Online are Colorado State University programs taught by Colorado State faculty and thus have the same accreditation.
Why Accreditation Matters
Accreditation is an external review process to ensure that educational institutions are meeting standards for quality education and services. Accreditation of nearly 3,000 colleges and universities in the United States is carried out in six geographic regions through a process known as regional accreditation.
Accreditation is a self-regulatory, peer review process based on rigorous standards. Regionally accredited institutions have agreed to have their institution and its programs reviewed to determine the quality of education and training being provided. Through the accreditation process, an institution's faculty, coursework, and operations are reviewed on a routine basis to ensure students receive a high quality education
Earning a Regionally Accredited Degree
Attending a regionally accredited institution allows you to apply for federal financial aid and may also impact your employment, your ability to obtain professional licensure, and your ability to transfer academic credits to another institution.
Those who are considering advanced degrees—a master's after a bachelor's, or a Ph.D. after a master's—should pay particular attention to the issue of regional accreditation because most graduate degrees require that the prerequisite B.A./B.S./M.A./M.S. be granted by a regionally accredited institution.
In addition, accreditation is important to employers. Those who offer tuition assistance may only offer the benefit for employees in regionally accredited programs. Employers may also require that degrees used to meet job qualifications were earned from a regionally accredited institution.
Anesthesia Pain Management
What to Expect with Pain Management
Following surgery, our team often is involved in providing pain relief for your pet. We often are consulted in the Critical Care Unit during postoperative recovery, but we also are consulted for pain management for patients with other needs, such as respiratory care or other medical situations.
Our pain management techniques and drugs always are tailored to your pet's specific needs, and our goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible.
How Does Pain Management Work?
We use several methods to control pain after surgery:
Local anesthetics: A local anesthetic may be used to numb the surgical site. This is a technique that can render your pet insensitive to pain in a specific area without affecting consciousness.
Epidural anesthesia: The insertion of a tiny epidural needle or catheter into your pet's back through which a small dose of medication for pain relief can be given.
Opiod therapy: The use of opioids to relieve pain and improve mood and functioning via the central nervous system, generally in patients with chronic pain.
Anti-inflammatory therapy: The use of anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce inflammation.
Integrated Therapies:
Acupuncture: Needles are inserted into points of the body to relieve pain.
Massage: Layers of muscle and connective tissue are manipulated with pressure, tension, and motion.
Laser Therapy: A medical and veterinary treatment that involves monochromatic light emission for tissue healing, inflammation, and pain relief.
Physiotherapy: This is commonly thought of as rehabilitation or physical therapy. We will work with your pet to restore maximum movement and function of the body.
We can use a variety of drugs and equipment to manage pain, depending on your pet's needs. In addition to local aesthetics, we commonly use opioids, morphine, antidepressants, and drugs for chronic pain like gabapentin and amantadine.
Serving the unserved, reaching the unreached
Have you ever thought how the house or society flat that you live in and proudly possess was constructed? It was not built in a day. It took years to evolve into its present shape. You may like to thank the builder for such a marvelous piece of work, without even thinking about the stark reality.
It was the labour who toiled in the sun, during the rain and shivering cold. More than the labour, their children suffered when their parents went out for work just to afford two square meals a day. These people might have left their native land in search of jobs but does that mean one should be deprived of the rights that every child must have? Right to enjoy their childhood, right to have a safe, clean and healthy environment and what about right to education. Perhaps, there is only a few to think on these lines.
When we visited a construction site recently, we were moved by plight of these children. With strong determination we approached ATS greens and Eminence Constructions on Dwarka Expressway for education of these children in their labour camps. Reluctantly, they agreed and we decided to reschedule our Education on Wheels program from West Delhi to Dwarka Expressway from 29th September 2015. Since then, our bus has been visiting the sites to teach these children.
Help us in changing the lives of these children.
What is a Pain Management Appointment/Treatment Like?
After a surgery, or for other cases of pain management, we will use the appropriate pain scale to determine your pet's level of pain. This is like a physical exam, but it focuses on feeling the whole body for tight muscles, sores, range of motion, and heat, all while noting the discomfort level in your pet.
When we localize the painful area(s), we generate a plan to treat the pain. This may include drugs, physiotherapy, acupuncture, and/or massage. We will always work to educate you about ways you can help manage your pet's pain once you return home.
