Passionate About:

My most rewarding experience at Temple University was joining Global Brigades, a humanitarian organization that strives to empower both the volunteers and under-resourced communities located throughout Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, and Ghana to ameliorate global health and economic disparities in hopes of improving the equality of life. During my past trip to Honduras, my goal was to make an impact on the Honduran community, however towards the end of the trip I realized that the community members themselves have impacted me. Returning to the states, I only wanted to give more of myself to help others and become selfless. Therefore, because of this experience I gained the drive, passion, and confidence to take on a leadership position as Treasurer and Co-Fundraising Chair so that I may be able to make more of a positive difference in this world. I am a better person because of my experience within Temple University’s Global Brigades. Please help me continue my mission to empower the community and increase equality in Nicaragua this summer!

Temple University Water Brigade May 2017 Nicaragua



Volunteer Activity Description

Global Brigades offers 7-day Water Brigades throughout the year in Honduras. 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.
