DePaul Water Brigade December 2012 Honduras



Erin's Message

Service to others is one of the most meaningful acts of life. Others in our world don't have as many blessings as I have, and I feel like it's my duty and passion to help other people to my full capability. This trip will be a great way to make a difference in the lives of some ordinary Honduran people and to spread the Vincentian mission of DePaul. ...Also, as a Spanish major, I am always interested in anything having to do with Latin American culture. This trip to Honduras would be a great way for me to experience part of Central America. Thank you so much for your interest in Global Brigades and donations are gladly accepted!

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.
