Rain water collecting! Anything to do with water conservation and recycling serves one of the greatest needs we have in many US states. If you ever have a moment to share with this community what techniques you use to build the team, implement and fund the program, etc., that could be very helpful to other student leaders (and their faculty, staff and community allies) in drought-ridden states. Best!
