Passionate About:

I am a biology student at Cal Poly Pomona with the goal of being an oncologist. Most of my time is spent at either school or work, but with whatever free time I have, I like to give back to those who need it the most.

Some of my volunteer work is geared towards my career goal, but most of my previous, and hopefully my future, volunteer work is in many different areas. I believe that each person has the potential to help those in need whenever possible, even if it may be ten minutes to read to children or ten dollars to a small charity.

The world is a big place with an enormous amount of people, and when people chip in to help one another out, it creates a unity that can be passed on as long as it starts.

Cal Poly Pomona Water September 2014 Honduras
  1. Affiliated Organization: Global Brigades USA
  2. Program: Water Brigades
  3. Chapter: Water Brigades at California Polytechnic State University Pomona
End Date: Sep 13, 2014 12:00 AM
Volunteer Activity Message

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.
