Welcome to the website of Micah Reyes, Masters Student, Marine Earth and Atmospheric Science, North Carolina State University.
career interests:
I am interested in promoting social justice by helping impoverished people manage their natural resources wisely and in sustainable, green ways in order for them to live a healthier lifestyle and open the door for further education and opportunity in their lives. My education and experience has been focused on water quality, hydrology, and water resource management. After graduating from NCSU with a Masters Degree I would like to get a job with an international aid organization such as the World Health Organization or the US Agency for International Development to help the poor get clean water and good sanitation.

about me:
I was born in Philippines and have lived in England, Louisiana, and currently live in North Carolina. I have travelled extensively and participated in many humanitarian aid trips to various impoverished areas. Being born in a third world country and interacting with many of the less fortunate has shown me some of the injustice in the world. Doing my part to fight social injustice and end poverty by decreasing the wealth and opportunity disparity between the rich and the poor is a goal for my life. Most importantly, I believe that Jesus is the perfect sinless son of God and died on a cross 2000 years ago for my sin and the sins of the world and everything good that I do is only because of God in my life.
"We all as wealthy Americans and as citizens of this race called humanity have the responsibility to share our money and opportunities to the less fortunate one family at a time. Maybe then we will break through to the end of poverty and to the peace humanity seeks."
