The project is at the University Academica Campesina (UAC) in Carmen Pampa, which is near Coroico, Bolivia. The UAC educates the local people in subjects like agronomy, nursing, tourism, and veterinary science at an affordable cost. There is an upper campus and a lower campus of the UAC and also the community of Carmen Pampa. The group had already installed a chlorinator for the upper campus, and we went down to install a chlorinator for the lower campus as well.
