The rest of year 2009 looks like it’s going to be a busy one for the Ghana program, who just had a team travel to the field this summer. With comprehensive site assessment data and four potential projects, the team is ready to begin data processing, analysis and project design. We have formed teams for each of the projects: water distribution system, rainwater harvesting system, public latrines, and waste management/recycling system. Our tasks are now to analyze our data and do research to understand the problems we are addressing and brainstorm possible solutions. After this, we will perform feasibility studies for each of the projects and identify one project to focus on for our next implementation trip. We will simultaneously be fundraising for this upcoming implementation.
Hi everybody! Now that we’re all back at Columbia, all the summer travel blogs have been wrapped up. We highly encourage you to check out the following blogs:
