Sierra Leone Rebuilding Project

This project will help a community rebuild after the extended civil war in that country.  We will begin by looking at solutions to water availability & quality.  As the community reconstructs their farms and homes and a boarding school is built in the town, additional needs are certain to arise.  We expect to be ready for our first site visit during the 2007 - 08 academic year and we look forward to a long relationship with this community!
