The outreach team has three major goals. The first goal is to raise awareness of AguaClara to the general public and to the Cornell Community. The second goal is to begin attempting to raise funds fundraising both to build plants in Honduras and for conducting research to improve and design AguaClara plants at Cornell. Finally we need to establish processes, precedents, and standards for future outreach teams.
Awareness
We plan to contact area schools and community groups to arrange presentations and lessons for local students. We will facilitate these presentations but everyone on the team is encouraged to attend. In order to make this efficient we will develop a generic lesson plan that can be used and modified depending on the situation.
We will develop new educational materials for AguaClara. We will design and print two posters. One poster for the mural in Hollister Hall and the other one that can be used as a background for AguaClara presentations. We will also work on developing new brochures and possibly other promotional materials as needed. We may develop some Spanish language educational materials for distribution in Honduras.
Fundraising
We plan to work on fundraising this semester. We will develop contacts with donor organizations and establish a database of potential donors. We will work to fill out grant applications and other fundraising methods as needed throughout the semester.
