Dear Potential Contributor,

First, I would like to thank you for taking the time to
read this letter, it is greatly appreciated. Secondly, I would
like to give you a brief description of myself and purpose of
my letter.
My name is Jazzmin Adibi and I am currently studying Development Studies and English
Literature at the University of California Berkeley. My passion in life is to pursue a career in
either international and/or immigration law. In order to gain a personal experience of
controversial issues in developing countries, I have become very active in multiple organizations
on campus, one being the Global Water Brigades. Last winter, this organization provided me
with the amazing opportunity to experience the politics, and basic engineering of a water
purification system in Los Pajarillos, Honduras. I immediately fell in love with the Honduran
culture and people, and have a strong passion to return and help in ANY way I can.
Global Water Brigades is an international non-profit organization, which seeks college
students to aide in water purification projects in Central America, specifically Honduras. We
travel to Honduras for two weeks during the summer and winter. Every trip entails a different
water project, ranging from the restoration of a water tank infrastructure to a community water
education seminar. Our help in these rural towns is much needed for almost 90% of all
Hondurans suffer from water induced parasitic illnesses. Potentially, in five years Global Water
Brigades will have conducted over fifty “water projects”, indicating that our target area in
Honduras for water purification has concluded.
Although these aspirations are ambitious they are already being implemented and
executed. However, I am in need of your help, for the excursion to Honduras entails a $1400.00
travel fee. This cost includes my plane ticket, in-country costs (including housing and food), and
a $100 contribution to the purchasing of materials for the water project. Financially speaking,
this trip is quite unattainable, but with ANY contribution I will be that much closer in my pursuit
for social change and justice. I would like to thank you again for your time and consideration,
and I pray that you have a prosperous day.

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact me via email at
jazzminadibi@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
Jazzmin Adibi
