Me and a group 10 other undergraduate structural engineering chosen were chosen to be part of a group that will go to Chile after the recent earthquake. While at Chile we will be doing both education and humanitarian work for 5 weeks from July 24 to September 12. The 8.8M earthquake that hit Chile this past February is one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded. I feel truly blessed by God to be given this opportunity to use what I learned in school and help out a community in need. For a while now I've been praying to God to reveal to me how he wants me to use my engineering degree to further his Kingdom. This is a great chance for me to put both my faith and eduction to work and I want you to be a part of it! I pray that while I'm at South America I will be able to reach out to the people and show God's love through that.

Two professors at UCSD recently made a trip there and this video talks about their findings on both building and foundation reponses. We are working with Dr. Jose Restrepo and Dr. Tara Hutchinson to plan our itinerary of sites to see and professionals to meet. Enjoy the video!
The trip will be around $1,700 which includes the plane ticket to and from South America, lodging for 5 weeks, transportation, food, etc... I am fund raising to help make this dream possible. Any amount is greatly appreciated. If you are unable to donate, prayers and letters of encouragement would be just as great!
