Connecting Hearts Abroad
DIP-IN will host eight Lilly Connecting Hearts Abroad (CHA) ambassadors Sept. 28 through Oct 14. Connecting Hearts Abroad is Lilly's global service program that provides Lilly employees an opportunity to volunteer in communities around the globe to help address access and inequities in health care.
The CHA ambassadors will be working closely with the Fairbanks DIP-IN team to create DIP-IN videos, photos, written pieces, and a communication plan for the next project year. The ambassadors will be traveling to Indianapolis from India, Ireland, Kuwait, Lebanon and Mexico.
Please help us welcome them to Indianapolis and help us share the incredible impact of DIP-IN! The ambassadors are extremely excited to help us communicate the impact of DIP-IN through these exciting projects.
Lilly Global Day of Service
On Thursday, September 28 Lilly will celebrate the 16th annual Global Day of Service. Through this event, Lilly employees work together and volunteer on projects focused on improving lives and communities around the globe. This year's projects in the DIP-IN communities fall into three categories:
