WAVES INTERNATIONAL

Bucknell Engineers for Sustainable Development is a student organization dedicated to promoting sustainable initiatives locally and abroad. The organization was founded in the Fall of 2010 by two first year civil engineering students, now in their senior year. In January 2014, ESD will be taking their first trip to Lobitos, Peru. Working to assist those with few resources, the students have joined a non-profit organization called WAVES for Development.

Our group of seven students will work with WAVES volunteers, focusing on projects within the community outreach and environmental health programs. The students will have the opportunity to pour and complete a concrete floor in one of the local homes. This initiative provides local families with the opportunity to live in a marginally healthier environment. Taking part in this project will allow students to start and fully complete a finished project. In addition, students will have the opportunity to work with youth in the English classes, contributing to a long-term, big-picture project.

As a member of Bucknell Engineers for Sustainable Development, I’m asking you to consider contributing to our worthy cause. Your generous donation will enable our students to travel to Lobitos and make a lasting impact. Contribute to Engineers for Sustainable Development so that university students can put their learning to use and expand their knowledge of life in South America.

Thank you for your help!

The center is part of WAVES for Development, a US, Swiss and Peru based 501c3. Learn more about WAVES at the website www.wavesfordevelopment.org
