Passionate About:

I am an International Economics major and an International Studies minor. I am very interested in the different cultures around the world and seeing them first hand. It is for that reason that I am drawn to this program as I get to travel and do volunteer work for a great cause.

May 2012 SDSU Water Brigade
  1. Affiliated Organization: Global Brigades USA
  2. Program: Water Brigades
  3. Chapter: San Diego State Water Brigades Chapter
End Date: May 28, 2012 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.
