U Rochester Water Brigade January 2014



William's Message

I am a student at the University of Rochester with a passion of helping those who are less fortunate than myself. In January I will be traveling to Honduras Global Water Brigades as part of their initiative to bring clean water to third world countries. I will spend 7 days in Honduras building a water pipeline down to a local village and educating the local people about clean water and how to maintain the supply. All donations go directly towards buying the supplies needed to build the pipeline. Please help me achieve my goal of $1,500 by December 21st!

Volunteer Activity Description

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.
