Recon Trip Update

Hey everyone,

Over spring break, two members of our team (Kristina and Kim) traveled to Patriensa to assess the project plot, investigate procurement sources, and meet with community leaders and members. The trip was very successful; we met all of our objectives except for one because of scheduling constraints. Here are some pictures of the recon trip:

Now we are working on technical designs for the water tank stand, septic system, and hydraulic system. As we get designs finalized, we will send them to Africa so the community can begin implementing.
