Are you involved?
Beyond the Board of Directors, there are many
individuals, groups and organizations involved in what we do.
Their
efforts inspire us as they bring us new ideas, give us momentum and
open up more and more oppotrunities.
Here's a glimpse of some of what goes on!
Tom Harrison
and London
Metropolitan
University
Tom Harrison is hard at work at London Metropolitan working on the site
plans for St. Kizito Namungoona. He is working hard on developing
innovative techniques to build in an environmentally friendly and
affordable way. He has traveled to Uganda twice in the past year
with a team of fellow students and we are eager to see what they come
up with!
Diana Flynn
Diana has been involved with BULA for over 2 years now. She
has helped to organize fundraisers and has lead the way when truly
needed. She has been extremely valuable in design for many of our
projects, including the Holiday Cards. We are forever grateful
for her hard work!
Sebastian's African Well Water Project
Sebastian Oppenheim, a High School Senior at The Ross School in East
Hampton,
NY, developed an incredible senior project that seeks to raise
awareness about water
issues and to build well(s) in Africa.
Through a series of
webisodes, Sebastian documents the use and abuse of water in
contemporary society and contrasts it to that of a developing nation,
such as many in Africa. He seeks to stress the importance of
potable water. The video project will culminate with a trip to
Africa to document the building of at least one well.
The final project can be seen here.
Carolyn Yanoti
Carolyn joined the BULA team in the summer of 2010. Upon graduating from Coastal Carolina University with a degree in International Studies and Political Science, she wanted to expand her reach in the field, while sharing her valuable skills and experience. Carolyn performed a huge spectrum of jobs to support BULA and brought forth great ideas for further developing the organization. Carolyn currently works in Global Outreach at Student World Assembly.
Lindsay Brown
Lindsay became involved with BULA after reading the article in
Newsday published in Newsday last year. The article sparked her
interest when she realized that the gift her cousing gave her over the
holidays was jewelry purchased to support BULA. Since, Lindsay
has been an active volunteer and has worked to use her resources to
expand BULA's reach. Lindsay recently used her talent for writing
to promote BULA for Eco-Chick. Check it out here!
