EWB@WSU's Site Survey Video: May 26 - June 15

EWB@WSU sent three students and one professor from WSU, Carrie Schramm, Alex McDonald, Zakaria Mohamed, and Dr. J. Dan Dolan, to SE Kenya to survey a proposed 17 mile (28 km) waterline for 35k people. The site survey trip was very successful. Working with the Student Movement for Real Change, EWB linked up with a local Kenyan NGO - Muthaa Community Development Foundation.

EWB@WSU's Sudan project was recently featured in the New York Times.
