What are you doing this summer? Nourish International at the University of Washington offers students the opportunity to intern with community-based development organizations around the world. Nourish connects students with an interest in development and relevant skills to our partner organizations to further develop and implement community-driven projects for 5 weeks between July and September 2014. This summer, Nourish UW will be going to Uganda to partner with the Rural Health Care Foundation (RHCF). Nourish members will be working alongside community volunteers to build clean water systems that will directly impact over 1,500 rural peoples. 

Applications are now available to be part of the team! Please email nourish@uw.edu for more information and for the application. If you are interested in finding out more about the organization and what we do on campus, please come to the weekly meetings on Wednesdays at 6:30 in THO 231. Anyone is welcome!

Nourish International is a non-profit organization that serves as a platform for students to make long-lasting, global impacts within developing regions around the world. Nourish creates partnerships between University chapters and communities abroad in an effort to foster strong relationships, implement sustainable development, and eradicate poverty. All Nourish internship opportunities will offer you skills in project development, management, and implementation; team coordination and communication; cross-cultural collaboration; and grassroots development.

 


Project Overview: We are comparing two floors, a freshman floor
against a floor of upperclassmen. We are looking to see if there is a
difference in the waste patterns of students who are new against
students who have been at UW a while. We will be performing trash
sorts so that we can see the detailed waste patterns of each floor.

The waste sorts will be conducted on the following Thursdays – January
16th, 23rd, 30th & February 6th, 13th, 20th. The time frame for the
sorts will be from 12:15pm-4:30pm. It not necessary for each
individual to participate for the full four plus hours, but they are
more than welcomed to if they wish! It is preferred that individuals
participate weekly though, if for some reason an individual cannot
participate weekly we can try to work something out.This is a fun
research project and great experience for any of you that are
interested in pursuing research of any kind! All participants will be provided a suit for sorting, gloves, masks, etc. Everyone will receive information about how to sort waste and the observations that we are asking you to monitor. 

If interested, send an email inquiry to ruem@uw.edu
