This the page I hope to modify
in the coming years. All is well in the land of green. I
am back in Oregon. The Peace Corps for me is not an
option right now. My plan is to update this page
with stories about projects of my friends in the Peace
Corps. My friends are in a Master's International
program at Michigan Technological University. With a
plan to get a Master's Degree in Civil Engineering. One
billion people in the world are lacking access to safe
drinking water and proper sanitation. The mission and
goals in the Peace Corps will be to help alleviate this
problem. My friends have assignments in Mali, Panama and
The Dominican Republic. The program entails taking a
year of classes then volunteering for two years while in
the Peace Corps. Volunteers will work on a project to
write a thesis on. Other MI thesis's have concentrated
on work doing constructed wetlands, gravity- fed water
systems and spring boxes. Just to name a few. The
program is progressing and has hit a limit. A dozen
students a year is all Michigan Tech can handle right
now. I am excited to be engaged is such a great program.
It is really surprising how little amounts of effort can
go a long way. I hope to find be able to post stories
and projects in the coming future. |
