Passionate About:

Thanks for visiting my Global Bridages page!
I've always wanted to volunteer abroad and make a difference. Yes, there will always be things that need to be worked on locally, but there is something about getting out of your comfort zone and seeing that people may not be as well off as you are, it almost grounds you. This year, I am on the E-Board for Global Brigades as a Social Media Chair. Not only will this postion help me tremendously with my major but it is also something that I am interested in. I am a Marketing major studying at Fox School of Business at Temple University, and a part of Alpha Xi Delta. I may not have alot of free time but being a part of an organization like Global Brigades makes it worth while.

Volunteer Activity Message

Thanks for learning about our chapter. We strive to not to only make a difference as student volunteers in our brigade, but we want to also spread the awareness of the global problem of clean water accessibility and sustainability.

This year, we are planning a 9 day water brigade to Nicaragua, from May 8,2016-May 16, 2016. Water Brigades' mission is to empower communities to access sufficient clean water through infrastructural development, water treatment, community leader training and education. Water Brigades volunteers assist in implementing clean water systems to prevent water-related illnesses in communities with limited access to clean water. One of the fundamental roadblocks to community development is lack of clean water. With a sufficient quantity of properly treated water, community members can cut off the connection between water and illness and ultimately live healthier, more productive lives. Volunteers work side-by-side with community members as well as with our in-country project technicians in all aspects of the water system's construction while learning about its design, functionality, and long-term sustainability.
