Passionate About:

I am a Kinesiology student at San Francisco State University. I have found an opportunity to pursue my passion of helping people. With your assistance and my desire, I will be able to volunteer in a program in Honduras implementing a water system to help prevent water related illnesses. More than 1 in 8 people in the world don't have access to safe drinking water. 1 out of every 5 deaths under the age of 5 worldwide is due to a water-related disease. This is my chance to make a difference in a small village in Honduras and broaden my experience in the understanding of preventative health.

May 2012 SDSU Water Brigade

End Date: May 28, 2012 10:00 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.
