Dhvani Patel

Passionate About:

As a citizen of the world I hold much value in the idea of a community. The resources we use and extract are not ours alone, we share them with the rest of the world so we have a responsibility to be caring community members. This concept is what lead me to pursue Environmental Science in college, and what is leading me to take this trip. Our practices have lasting effects on the world and it is my hope that we all realize the role we play as individuals and larger communities in these effects. Through education and and collaboration I would like to help leave as much of a positive impact as I can.

University of Maryland Baltimore County Environmental Brigade March 2017 Panama
  1. Affiliated Organization: Global Brigades USA
  2. Program: Environmental Brigades
  3. Chapter: Environmental Brigades at University of Maryland Baltimore County
End Date: Mar 24, 2017 12:00 AM
Volunteer Activity Message

Global Brigades offers 7-day Environmental Brigades throughout the year in Panama. Environmental Brigades provide student volunteers with the opportunity to gain first-hand experience in environmental management and education by empowering community members in rural communities. During brigades, volunteers spend time with environmental committees to better understand the region's pressing environmental concerns and potential for improvement. Through interactive workshops and the implementation of physical projects, student volunteers provide the education and physical assistance necessary for these families to sustain long-term behavioral change, which will benefit the well-being of not only themselves but their surrounding environment as well. Subsequent brigades build on each other and therefore, projects are continued through successive phases year after year. Between brigades, our in-country team maintains relationships with our community leaders to ensure the continuation of projects started by brigades and to provide follow-up on community members’ feedback as well as next steps.
