The Ghana Program is thrilled to announce that it has won the first round of the EPA’s competitive P3 award. The Ghana program is hoping to follow in the Uganda Program’s footsteps to win the final round next summer. The program will be sending seven travelers to Obodan later this summer to install a new source-separated composting latrine and to gather more data for the future water distribution system. We will be sure to post our group’s travel blog soon, so remember to check for updates!

Our Chapter had the honor of presenting at the EWB-USA Conference in Denver, Colorado and had the honor of hosting a breakout session. During the breakout session our Uganda program used their experience implementing a multi-platform generator as a case study for other college chapters and professionals. We feel privileged to have the opportunity to contribute back to the EWB community, and we benefited greatly from having seen the progress of other chapters projects.

Christa has made it safely back to Miami, FL where she is receiving treatment after losing her lower right leg. We are all inspired by her accomplishments since graduating from Columbia, and we are encouraged by the volunteer work she had been doing in Haiti at the time. We wish the best to her and her family.
