Rotaract at UC San Diego extends an invitation to participate in their 10th Annual WAPI Project on Sunday, January 26th from 10am - 4pm (feel free to arrive and depart anytime throughout the event). As one of their bigger projects, they would like to have District 5340 join them to foster collaboration between the Rotaract and Rotary organizations while positively serving our global community.
If you or your club members are interested in this opportunity, please individually fill out this form by Tuesday, January 21. It's important the form be filled out to allow the UCSD Rotaract to secure enough food for the day. RSVP members are prioritized if food runs out.
Once you confirm your attendance, we will be sending parking directions, the venue details and the itinerary closer to the event date.
WAPI stands for Water Pasteurization Indicators. These are reusable wax capsules that indicate when heated water has reached pasteurization temperature before boiling point and is safe to be consumed. In some areas of the world, communities collect water from natural sources, which are often ridden with disease-causing bacteria. WAPIs allow these communities to access safe water more efficiently and save on resources.
Help us get to our goal of making and testing 800 water pasteurization indicators (WAPIs) to send to resource-poor regions across the world.
If you have any questions, please email the club at secretary@rotaractucsd.org.
