DAVID TESTERMAN (BS 1984) shares that he is
President of the Board of Directors for Fountains of Hope
International, a ministry that provides life-sustaining
water treatment systems to people in need. He has been
working a great deal in Haiti to assist in the cholera
epidemic and personally installed treatment systems in
Port Au Prince in December 2010. “Health and hygiene
education are a big part of our purpose, so it would be
very appropriate for fellow pharmacists to consider
joining us on a future trip. We frequently partner with
medical clinics, so often there are needs for a pharmacist
to assist at the clinic, also.” You can read more about the
organization at www.fountainsofhope.org. In January 2011,
David began a new position as Director of Pharmacy for
the Indiana Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning.
Michael Johnson (BS 1998) was

Vidya Swaminathan (PhD 1997) was
awarded the
6th annual
Golden
Apple Award
from Health
Volunteers
Overseas (HVO) for her commitment
to providing education and training in
developing countries. Her six months
as a Pfizer Global Health Fellow in
Uganda where she worked for HVO
at Makerere University on their
capacity-building and strengthening
projects gave her a close-up view
of healthcare challenges in the
developing world. Vidya wrote an
article about her experience overseas
entitled “A Pharmaceutical Scientist
on Assignment in Uganda” for HVO,
and you can read that article in its
