Orphaned Children on Commercial Farms

Erin Brock was a Hart Fellow in Zimbabwe from 1999-2000. She worked with the Farm Orphan Support Trust, a private voluntary organization that addresses the needs of orphans living on commercial farms in Zimbabwe.

Erin graduated from Duke in 1999 with a major in biology. After her Hart Fellowship, Erin worked with San Francisco's Promise to organize after-school programs for Bay Area youth. She is currently a student in the Joint MD/MS Program at the University of California, San Francisco and UC-Berkeley. Erin is studying the human, sociocultural and bioethical contexts of health and disease and plans to build on her work as a Hart Fellow in her master's thesis.
