Update from Burere and EWB-UC

Burere Schoolhouse with ISSB Walls (Oct 2012)

Great news from Burere this month! The community was able to finish the ISSB walls and cover them to prevent weathering while we prepare for our next trip. This picture is courtesy of a Village Life Outreach Project (VLOP) trip to the area involving several education students from UC. Additionally, we have just received travel approval for our fourth implementation phase of the Burere school this December. We have one student traveling, Zach Banachowski, along with our reliable travel mentor, Richard Elliott. Both traveled on the first implementation trip this past June. Good luck guys!

If you are interested in helping out with this project, we are beginning our campaign to finish the school. We are trying to raise the rest of the funds needed to finish this school by Summer 2013. Click here donate to the project: https://ssl.charityweb.net/ewbusa/pfp/ewbucputaroofonit.htm

Our Nyambogo committee is also continuing the design of a water distribution system for a community in Tanzania. We recently conducted a water survey in the community in order to determine where the best location for the borehole will be. Look for more news on this project as the design continues to progress.

EWB UC, GCP, and Miami Chapter Bridge Construction

Last month our chapter also completed a project in collaboration with the Greater Cincinnati Professional chapter (EWB-GCP) and the Miami University student chapter (EWB-Miami). Together, we completed the construction of a new foot bridge at Kennedy Heights Park in the Cincinnati area. More picture are available here: Kennedy Heights Bridge Construction
