Going forward...


I have been home from Nicaragua for almost two weeks now and the next step of our project is to find an NGO or other organization to help us make our project more successful. We are having a meeting next week to determine what our ultimate project is going to be but for now we have a few ideas.

Our main idea is that we want to work with a group that is building a high school in Nicaragua. This project would be idea for our group because the engineers could help with the design of the building while the other arts and science students (including myself) can help create a curriculum for the students  that involves sanitation and/or women's health/rights.

Another option for our group is that we could potentially work for Engineers Without Borders, and hopefully get a grant from them or from Lehigh University so we could go back to Nicaragua and work building the high school or on another project chosen by EWB.

In my next post I will write about what our final decision is.
