Sam Fugate is the co-founder and president of the WKU chapter of Global Brigades, a nonprofit that focuses on sustainable development in Nicaragua, Honduras and Ghana. Fugate is head of the WKU branch which is a medical chapter. The group brings in doctors, dentists and pharmacists to rural areas to provide them with access to healthcare. “We get to show the residents of these rural communities that they are not alone and that there are people who care about them even when the government doesn’t,”Fugate said.
