Refresh Bolivia - McMaster Chapter

The first Executive meeting for Refresh Bolivia will take place on September 20th (tomorrow!). We will be discussing about events for this upcoming school year. Look out for the general meeting in the near future!

What an amazing two weeks in Cochabamba, Bolivia! Two latrines for the local community centre and day care plus a huge 600 cubic feet water reservoir for the community. Good work Team McMaster. If you want to join the cause next year, feel free to post on this page or send RB message! Keep checking this page regarding various events in the upcoming year!

Hello everyone,

I just want to let you all know of a wonderful volunteering opportunity over the summer with Refresh Bolivia. Refresh Bolivia is a nonprofit organization that aims to implement innovative and sustainable projects in semi-rural communities of Bolivia to increase access to clean water and latrines. That being said, we have a trip organized this year to help out rural Bolivian communities in the summer. The trip is tentatively scheduled for the last two weeks of August. In terms of what you will be doing there, weekdays will be spent building, constructing, and implementing water technologies for communities while weekends will be spent exploring Bolivia and just having fun with other passionate students!

If you are interested and want more information about the trip, please feel free to send any execs (Jason Kwok, Vincent Wu, Oscar Chan, Samuel Xu, Lauren Hophing, Leslie Walker, and Anuja Bhalerao) an email. Additionally, if decide you want to participate in this trip, there is an application process. The application form for the trip is attached above and is due by March 28, 2013 at 11:59 pm. If you are successful in the application process, you will be invited for a skype interview. The application is on the status update below.
