Greetings from Cameroon!!!
The entire ETHOS-Cameroon group has arrived safely in country and the project is in full swing. In order to show our great appreciation for all of the support we received from the University of Dayton, members of our respective communities, and other interested individuals and businesses, we wanted to create this blog to keep you all updated as the project moves forward to realization.
The scope of the project has changed a bit due to financial limitations. The project has been divided into two phases, both to be implemented in the next two months.
The first is the water distribution system. Water will be collected at the source via a concrete catchment and move to a collection chamber situated near the source. From there, water will move through a single pipeline to three taps in the village. The taps are situated as follows: one near the school, one in a central location of the village, and the last at the chief's house near the edge of the village.
The second phase is implementing "point of use" filters. These filters can be used on an individual level, in a home or compound. Villagers will be involved in learning how to construct filters as well as the importance of using only clean water to drink. More information will be provided about the filters as the project continues (and another blogger can tell more).
Each of the students will be contributing to this blog. So each style will be different, as well as the different experiences documented.
Please enjoy!!
