University of California San Diego Water Brigade June 2015 Honduras



Caitlin's Message

Hello everyone!
This summer I am traveling to Honduras with Global Water Brigades. Global Brigades is an international organization that uses a holistic process to meet a community’s development goals by implementing health, economic, and education programs. With Global Water Brigades, I will be building a clean water system and teaching a community the importance of clean water. I’m really excited to contribute to a community outside of my own and immerse myself in a new culture.
Words cannot describe how ecstatic I am for this opportunity. Volunteering is a large aspect of my life and traveling abroad on a volunteer service trip has been a dream of mine for years. The University of California, San Diego, has provided so many wonderful opportunities, but this opportunity is at the top of my list.
As my trip nears, I am hoping to raise money to fund my service trip. Any donation amount helps and will be greatly appreciated!
If you have any questions about why I chose to do this trip, please contact me!
Also, feel free to share my event with someone you believe may be interested in getting to know more.
With love,
Caitlin

Volunteer Activity Description

Global Brigades offers 7-day Water Brigades throughout the year in Honduras. Water Brigades' mission is to empower communities to access sufficient clean water through infrastructural development, water treatment, community leader training and education. Water Brigades volunteers assist in implementing clean water systems to prevent water-related illnesses in communities with limited access to clean water. One of the fundamental roadblocks to community development is lack of clean water. With a sufficient quantity of properly treated water, community members can cut off the connection between water and illness and ultimately live healthier, more productive lives. Volunteers work side-by-side with community members as well as with our in-country project technicians in all aspects of the water system's construction while learning about its design, functionality, and long-term sustainability.
