Poverty Alleviation
Drove an auto-rickshaw over 3,000km through India to raise money and awareness about the lack of clean drinking water in Indian communities. Raised over $15,000 - the largest amount raised by any team - through sponsorships and our team website, successfully providing over 10,000 locals with access to clean drinking water for life.
