Passionate About:

I am passionate about international and sustainable development. I love to know that I am making a positive impact in local communities in Panama. Moreover, reaching out to these families has helped me solidify what I want to pursue as a professional. Global development and working with non-profits has inspired me to continue with these work efforts.

Volunteer Activity Message

During the school year, we focus on creating awareness in our campus community and on preparing for our brigade trip. We accomplish this through weekly meetings, on and off campus fundraisers, collaborative efforts with other on-campus organizations, and so on.

In preparation for our brigade trip, we collect hygienic and educational supplies to distribute to the families, orphanages, and school in the community we will work in. In addition, we develop a public health workshop for Honduran elementary school students based on the topics produced by Global Brigades. This year we are focusing on social and psychological health promotion.

While in-country, we take part in four construction projects: eco-stoves, latrines, water-storage facilities, and concrete floors. Towards the end of our week-long stay, we direct a public health workshop and assess the local community to see how we can improve the overall infrastructure.

Since last year, we have doubled our member recruitment. As our chapter continues to grow and evolve, so does our passion for international service. We are so excited for our upcoming brigade, and we cannot wait to share our experiences with the rest of our campus community!
