In the highlands of western North Carolina, most students do not experience a deficit when it comes to water supply. In mountains to mountains, we were exposed to the water crisis taking place in Nepal, and how several members of the Appalachian State community helped to avert that crisis. Before Appalachian got involved, the only place to get water was equipped to supply about 25-50 families with their daily water needs. However, there were about 150 families in the area that regularly went to this source, making water a luxury and a very scarce resource. After they received help from the members of our community, they were then able to not only supply a sufficient amount of water, but they were able to make this place a growing community and a place where people want to live.
This kind of work is what we should all work for. We do not all necessarily need to travel to a developing country in order to make a difference, but when choosing a career path, the main focus should be how can I better the world and how could I most enjoy doing so.
