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!
