AguaClara Outreach Team
Motivation and Objectives
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 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.
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.
Precedents
We will work to document our procedures and methods to make outreach easier for future outreach teams.
Other tasks
We will work to recruit other people based on skills needed. Potential examples included an art/graphic design related major to work on promotional materials, someone with educational experience to work on developing a lesson plan and any other skills that may contribute to AguaClara. We will work with the project team leader to bring in appropriate speakers to teach the team about areas related to AguaClara.
