S&T's Engineers Without Borders travels to Bolivia

Members of Missouri University of Science and Technology's Engineers Without Borders (EWB) student chapter will travel to Los Eucaliptos, Bolivia, to help establish a clean source of drinking water. The students will leave for Los Eucaliptos on Wednesday, May 21, and return on Thursday, May 29. The team will scout for locations to drill a new well, continue to monitor current erosion control barriers, assess areas at risk of flooding and work to educate and train the local community to eventually pass responsibility of the distribution and storage system to the residents. In 2011, the team connected electricity to the community of approximately 30 large families. Currently, clean drinking water is being sourced and stored. After the completion of the project, the team hopes to build a community center.
