assionate about international aid within developing countries. I'm really passionate about Water Brigades, because only 1 in 6 people have access to clean water. Working with Global Water Brigades has given me and many other students the opportunity to help give access to clean water in a sustainable way. So far GWB has given access to clean water, through new dams, piping systems, and water storage units, to around 1600 people! Think of that huge impact! More to come!This upcoming brigade will be my 4th trip down to Honduras and can't wait to get down there and start working! Please support my passion for Global Brigades!

tacular experience and knew that I wanted to continue working with this organization for years to come. It's amazing how my view on service work changed and grew with just one week in Honduras. I returned to Honduras on the dental brigade in 2011 and fell even more in love with the country and the wonderful people. Now, in 2012 I am leading the dental brigade and cannot wait to spread the word to brigaders and create a trip that will leave a lasting effect in hopes they return.
