I want to serve as a Volunteer Civil Engineer in Haiti because of my interest in working on humanitarian projects for rebuilding of Haiti. As a Volunteer, I will be exposed to international standards, procedures and techniques while working with professionals from all around the world. After the recent earthquake in Haiti which led to massive human casualties as well as infrastructure damages, Haiti requires services of professionals from various sectors for professional management of development efforts, rebuilding and restructuring of the nation. As I come from a developing nation Nepal, I can relate myself practically to the need to overcome poverty, development needs, infrastructure development and betterment of living standards. Additionally, Nepal is also considered to be the highest earthquake prone zone. My experience in Haiti will undoubtedly train me for possible disaster and rebuilding of my home country in the time of need. Being a part of the history in rebuilding Haiti is my primary interest, where I shall get an opportunity to serve humanity above all.
