A Successful Burere Assessment

EWB-UC is proud to have completed a very successful assessment trip for the Kingigoro primary school project in Burere, Tanzania. The information gathered on this trip will be vital for the review of the project this coming autumn. Pending approval and successful fundraising, the team hopes for approval to begin construction in Tanzania this coming winter.

A special thank you is in order for Tom Bible who, without having had a major role in the first stages of the project, offered to be our mentor on this trip. His help was immensely helpful as we gathered data and we are happy that he is interested in continued support of the design.

The trip was an amazing growing experience. I'm very happy that my term as president of EWB-UC could start with such a moving event in my life. I hope that everyone will keep up with Blueprints and http://ewb-uc.org/ this summer to hear some of the stories from the trip as well as news about the Burere project as it nears design completion. It feels great to be home, but the work to help the Burere community construct their new school continues!
