Passionate About:

Throughout different countries, people's relationship with water contrasts drastically. Getting a glass of water, brushing my teeth or taking a shower is not a laborious process. For thousands of people in developing countries, water is seen in a very different light. In Honduras, water can often contain diseases and cause serious illness.

This January I will be going to Honduras with USC Water Brigades to help design and implement a water system to provide clean water to a rural community. The USC Water Brigade team will work side by side with the local community in this project to improve the health and standard of living in the community. In addition, we will also be teaching the community members how to maintain the water system so that our efforts will continue beyond our stay.

USC Water Brigades March 2013 Honduras

End Date: Mar 25, 2013 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.
