Today, our EWB Uganda Water team 🇺🇬 met with Mario Reidl, a mentor and board member for EWB Germany who has been involved with Engineers Without Borders for 14 years.

Since both of our teams are working in the same community in Kapchorwa, Uganda, we connected to learn more about each other’s projects and explore ways we can support one another.

Mario shared insight from EWB Germany’s current work building sanitary dry toilet houses for the community and provided helpful guidance for our water project, including information on topographic and soils surveys.

We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate, learn from experienced mentors, and strengthen our approach as we continue working toward sustainable water access in Kapchorwa.

One Big Day, One Big Thanks🤍

“This year over 6,000 students, faculty, and staff completed nearly 1,200 community service projects throughout Blacksburg, Christiansburg and the New River Valley.” 🔗

Our EWB team was proud to carry forward the spirit of Ut Prosim and take part in The Big Event. This year we spent time giving back through simple but meaningful acts like writing cards to residents in senior housing.

Swipe ➡️ to check out some of the cards and origami's we made, and shout out to dingo the patrol pony for keeping our campus safe! 🐴🚓
