Sue Walsh, a nurse practitioner from Chicago, founded Little by Little which provides healthcare services in Haiti.
Each Thursday on Global Activism, we hear about an individual who’s decided to work to make the world a better place. Sue Walsh is the founder of Little by Little. The organization provides primary healthcare services to families in Haiti. Sue’s a nurse practitioner and also teaches at the University of Illinois College of Nursing in Chicago. Several years ago she had the opportunity to start a service learning project at the school and that’s how Little by Little got started.
