Hey Guys,

This spring I am trying to take a Global Engineering Brigades Trip to Honduras to design the set up a gravity water system for the people living in a particular community (I don't know which one yet). BUT I NEED HELP TO GET THERE!!! I'm planning on bringing back bracelets, necklaces, clothes, coffee and homemade hammocks. But you guys need to let me know in advance and then we can negotiate a price for these things and then I will bring them back for you.

So message me if you want any of these things from Honduras.

About Us

Pennsylvania State University is a chapter of Global Water Brigades, an international movement of university students working alongside local communities and technicians to implement clean water systems in the developing world. Water systems are designed, planned, and budgeted with partner communities and local leaders are identified by the community to serve as the community’s Water Council, which collects monthly water fees from households to operate and maintain the constructed water system. It then takes several months of construction by volunteers, staff and community members to complete and can include several large scale components, such as dams and storage tanks in order to pipe clean water to individual homes. nnIn conjunction with our Water Program, Global Brigades also supports communities with healthcare, economic development and sanitation projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring.
