Passionate About:

I am an International Business and Environmental Studies major. With these two areas of study, I'm passionate about international aid within developing countries. I'm really passionate about Water Brigades, because only 1 in 6 people have access to clean water. Working with Global Water Brigades has given me and many other students the opportunity to help give access to clean water in a sustainable way. So far GWB has given access to clean water, through new dams, piping systems, and water storage units, to around 1600 people! Think of that huge impact! More to come!This upcoming brigade will be my 4th trip down to Honduras and can't wait to get down there and start working! Please support my passion for Global Brigades!

May 2012 SDSU Water Brigade



Volunteer Activity Description

Water Brigade volunteers will spend 7 days in Honduras implementing a water system to prevent water related illnesses in a community with limited access to a sufficient quantity and quality of clean water. Volunteers receive a comprehensive introduction to the water issues by seeing the community’s current water situation first hand, and meeting and discussing the issues with community members and leaders. With a holistic understanding of the community’s challenges and the Water Brigades’ solution, volunteers work side-by-side with community members to construct the new water system. Volunteers may work on a piping system, water storage unit, small dam, water treatment unit or another infrastructural project. Additionally volunteers partner with the community’s Basic Sanitation Committee and provide education and training to proliferate knowledge about proper water use, and proper sanitation and hygiene practices. With a sufficient quantity of properly treated water and proper sanitation and hygiene practices, community members can cut off the connection between water and illness and ultimately live healthier and more productive lives.
