We had a wonderful post-assessment trip meeting last night. The team spoke in great detail about the days spent in Sierra Leone. An interesting addition to the talk was the presentation of a hand-made helicopter made by a 12 year old Centennial School student. The engineering skills that went into this small scale replica were amazing!

The original project request was for our EWB chapter to partner with CSS to restore infrastructure that had started to fail prior to the war and was further damaged during the war. This includes the water and sanitation systems, electrical systems and the structural integrity of the buildings. All of this is geared toward the goal of restoring the school to the excellent academic standards that it had previously met; the team did not find problems on the assessment trip that would clearly prevent the program from moving forward in this direction.

Our next meeting will be this Thursday if you are interested in becoming part of our project team committee. Please contact Diana Dunn for more information.(dunnds@airproducts.com).
