6th Annual WAPI Project Registration
Rotaract at UCSD Presents its 6th annual WAPI Project! All are welcome to attend! Gather your friends, perhaps even strangers, and help us achieve our goal of making and testing 1100 water pasteurization indicators (WAPIs) to send to refugee camps in Uganda and Oaxaca! Don't know how to make a WAPI? No worries, we'll teach you how! We hope you're just as excited as we are for this year's WAPI Project. Please fill out this form by ASAP as spots are limited.

When:
Sunday, February 23
11:00am to 3:00pm
Doors open at 10:45am

Location:
East Ballroom located in Price Center (different from last year's venue). The nearest parking lot is Gilman Parking Structure. A map with directions will be emailed to you, after you submit the form. Also, on the day of WAPI Project, there will be Rotaract Wayfinders who will help "find your way" and direct you to the East Ballroom so keep your eyes peeled for them!

Why WAPIs are awesome:
WAPIs (Water Pasteurization Indicators) are reusable devices that show when water has reached pasteurization temperature and is safe to drink. In some areas of the world, people collect water from natural sources, which are often ridden with disease-causing bacteria. To prevent getting sick, the water is typically boiled prior to drinking/using. However, water does not need to be boiled in order to be safe to drink, because pasteurization (the act of using heat to kill off the dangerous bacteria) occurs at 150° F, a much lower temperature than water's boiling point (212° F). Therefore, a lot of time and resources, such as fuel and wood, are wasted when water is brought to the boiling point, rather than the pasteurization point. This is where the WAPI comes in. A WAPI contains a special wax that melts at 150° and indicates when the water is safe to drink. Thus, WAPIs help communities lacking easy access to clean, drinkable water save time, money, and energy, by indicating when their water is safe to drink, before it boils!
