This summer, Engineers Without Borders - KU Chapter sent 9 members to Azacilo, Bolivia to continue work on the sanitation project.  The trip was an eye opening experience for the 5 first time volunteers.

Unlike the first implementation stage, the goal of the group was not to build entire latrines.  In an effort to transfer knowledge and skills of building latrines to the locals, the goal was to site and pour foundations for 10 more latrines, and allow the community to build the structure. 

The team worked hard throughout the week, battling many obstacles from Mother Nature raining during the dry season to wood that could not be nailed together.  After a hard week of work, the group left having completed as much work as possible.

We look forward to finishing the 3rd and final stage of implementation next summer, and we would like to thank all of our contributors for making this project a success!

Thank you to all who helped make Climate Justice Week a great success!  We look forward to Oxfam and EWB working together again in the future.
