In August of this year I traveled to Bolivia with my university's chapter of Engineers Without Borders. We have a clean water project there, and our mission was to go down and install a chlorinator. 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. I was the Education Chair of our chapter, so I was in charge of the presentations about the chlorinators that we did on both campuses, and, as one of the few Spanish-speakers on the trip, I also did a lot of translating.
