I apologize for this off-topic post. I am a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Bolivia, '66-'68), and founder and COO of Water Charity, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that does water, sanitation, and public health projects worldwide. We have just started a new initiative, Appropriate Projects, to fund small water and sanitation projects very quickly.
Please check out our website at http://appropriateprojects.com and submit an application. Even if you don't work in water/san, you may want to do a small project at a community facility, clinic, or school. It could be something simple, such as piping, fixtures, water storage, or some other needed improvement.
We also like to “finish” projects that have been started, and “fix” things that have ceased to function.
If you have any questions about the appropriateness of a project, or if it will take you some time to put your project together, just contact me by email.
Could you pass this message on to your fellow-PCVs in Micronesia?
If you like what we do, could you tell others in your social networks about us?
I am currently serving as a teacher and community development worker in the Federated States of Micronesia through the United States Peace Corps.
This blog is intended to share my experiences with family and friends and does not reflect the position of the United States Government or the Peace Corps.
