January 2011 University of Virginia Water Brigade

Start Date: Jan 2, 2011 10:00 PM
End Date: Jan 8, 2011 10:00 PM

Water Brigade volunteers work with professional engineers design full scale clean water systems to bring water directly into the homes of rural communities. Each water system is broken into week-long projects that volunteers implement alongside community members. After several brigades, a community is able to celebrate the creation of a complete water system, which helps to prevent communicable illnesses in communities.
