Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio - Vermont's vibrant non-profit sector, and a local author warns the world is unprepared for Ebola and other potential epidemics.

9:00 - 10:00 am
May 17 is Vermont Gives the statewide giving day. We'll look at some of the contributions to Vermont's vibrant non-profit sector in interviews with Common Good Vermont's Barrie Silver; Mary Ward, whose Hope on the Rise organizes fly fishing weekends for women with cancer or who have survived cancer, and Dominique Gustin of the community arts center River Arts in Morrisville.

Local author Bronwyn Fryer collaborated on The End of Epidemics: The Looming Threat to Humanity and How to Stop It, published earlier this year. The book argues the world is unprepared for a pandemic like the Spanish flu a century ago—and that was before a new Ebola outbreak in Congo coincided with the Trump administration disbanding a top US global health security team.
