UT Medical Branch General Volunteers Initiative

Start Date: Oct 1, 2015 12:00 AM
End Date: Jul 16, 2016 12:00 AM

This initiative is for brigadiers that want to participate and are not yet able to dedicate to a specific brigade date, but want to raise funds. Water Brigade volunteers implement water systems to prevent communicable illnesses in communities through 7 day Water Brigades in Honduras or Ghana. Our in-country team members work with water technicians and community leaders to design large scale water systems for the entire community. Once the water system is designed, volunteers work side-by-side with community members to implement the water system and provide education and training to proliferate knowledge about proper water use, and proper sanitation and hygiene practices.
