01 / WHY THIS PROJECT

A MEASLES FIELD CAMPAIGN IN CEBU

Knowing a disease is not the same as reaching a person.

I participated in Global MediBridge’s student outreach program in Cebu, Philippines, on June 11–14, 2026. My role included explaining and distributing measles early-recognition materials and helping with the team’s meal and hygiene-kit distribution. This experience raised a question alongside my measles-detection research: how can reliable information reach people and help them decide what to do next?

PRACTICAL LEARNINGSeek truth from evidence. Make knowledge useful in ordinary lives.

The measles component was educational. I did not conduct clinical screening, diagnose, or treat anyone. Meal and hygiene-kit distribution were team activities, not individual health outcomes. Participation in GMB’s program does not imply that GMB or a Cebu institution endorses or has adopted this website.

The activity behind the question

Selected records of materials and the outreach setting. They do not establish diagnosis, treatment, or health outcomes.

Cropped record of printed measles materials used in Cebu outreach
01Early-recognition materials used during outreach
Cropped record of hands reviewing printed measles materials
02Reviewing printed material together

03Clinic setting; no clinical care provided by the student

Public copies use crops and opaque masks applied to the files, with embedded metadata removed. No scene or person has been generated or reconstructed. These images are not used to count beneficiaries or health outcomes.

02 / FROM RESEARCH TO PUBLIC ACTION

THE EVIDENCE CHAIN

A project is more than a website when every claim has a source and every action has a measure.

The project grew from an in-person measles early-recognition campaign in Cebu and a science-fair project on a measles-detection concept. A separate computer-vision paper by Minji Kang is documented below for transparency. It studies oral-mucosa image crops and does not validate the measles detector or this campaign.

THREE LEVELS OF EVIDENCE

PROJECT RECORDThe 2026 CSEF qualifier list independently verifies Minji Kang’s state advancement. The Orange County 2nd-place result and Cebu activity are documented in the project’s own records rather than by the linked CSEF page. The publication record is linked separately below and is not evidence of measles-detector performance.

OFFICIAL PUBLIC SOURCESWHO measles and coverage facts; UNICEF USA giving and fundraising policies.

Publication and field activity records

The computer-vision publication and Cebu educational outreach are separate activities. Formal intervention evaluation and institutional adoption have not been established.

04 / FROM ATTENTION TO RESOURCES

A CLEAN FUNDRAISING PATH

The project never touches the money.

Donations are completed on UNICEF USA’s website. This site records only that an official giving page was opened—not who donated, how much, or any payment information.

IMPORTANT LIMIT

Small donations to UNICEF USA generally cannot be restricted to Cebu or to a specific measles program. This campaign therefore reports verified fundraising as support for UNICEF’s work for children, including immunization—never as a claimed number of Cebu vaccinations.

Independent student project. Not endorsed by or affiliated with UNICEF USA.
05 / LIVE EVIDENCE

LIVE PILOT DATA

Pilot participation and quiz results

Anonymous program-evaluation measures are kept separate from official fundraising totals. A page open is never called a donation.

DATA QUALITY REVIEW PENDING

These counts are session records, not unique people. Historical records have not been verified for development tests or repeat participation, so the totals may include both. No records have been removed on the assumption that they were tests.

The score difference compares immediate pre- and post-check answers. It does not establish lasting learning or a causal effect. Share/copy actions do not confirm delivery to another person; giving-link clicks do not confirm donations.
