Here, we hope to answer some of the questions you may have about the project. If you have any questions that are not listed below, feel free to email the project leads.
How can I support the Peru Project?
If you would like to donate and support the work the Peru Project does, you can view our sponsorship packet at this link. We appreciate any support you are able to provide at this time!
What does a typical Peru team meeting look like?
The meetings are scheduled for Wednesday's from 6:00-7:00 PM Pacific Time in the TLC 3215. The meetings start with some updates, and then the team breaks up into sub-teams to work on tasks. Towards the end of the meeting, the team will come together and share what they worked on.
What sub-teams are in the Peru Team?
The sub-teams are the technical, design, finance, cultural, and education, health, and safety (EHS) team. Each sub-team has its own lead who communicates with the Project Leads.
When/how can I join?
It is never too late to join! Even if it's the last meeting of the school year, we are always happy to welcome new members. If you are interested in attending a meeting, please email Billy Evans ([email protected]) or Riana Mansing ([email protected]) to get the meeting information.
Can I join multiple sub-teams?
Yes, definitely! If you're interested in tasks that multiple sub-teams are working on, feel free to join. Please keep in mind how much you are able to take on. We would love for you to be as involved as possible, but we also don't want to put too much on your plate.
Can I still join if I am not majoring in engineering?
Yes, all majors are welcomed! While our focus is mainly water supply projects, we also address various public health topics. Examples of some things that we have worked on are a hand washing animation and English lessons for elementary school kids. We have also created infographics on waterborne diseases, importance of water conservation and dental hygiene.
Can I still join if I am a graduate student?
Yes, of course!
How long are trips typically?
It depends! Assessment trips typically last around 2 weeks while implementation trips are the longest ranging from 6 to 8 weeks and monitoring and evaluation trips last around 3 to 4 weeks. Note that the length of the trip may vary depending on the requirements of grants and amount of travelers. The project leads will mention this in more detail if applicable.
I’m interested in more than one project within the UC Davis Chapter. Can I participate in multiple projects?
Yes! The meeting times for the teams are chosen so they don't overlap to allow members to attend as many meetings as they would like.
If you have more questions, feel free to message Billy ([email protected]) or Riana ([email protected])!
