It's hard to believe that in a matter of hours, our team of 6 will be embarking on our journey. With the help from our partner, Forward Edge International, our team of 6 (which includes 3 students, 2 faculty members and an industry expert) will be installing a Water Purification and Filtration system in a shelter home called Villa Esperanza, located in Managua Nicaragua.

The Village Water Ozonization System (or VWOS) team leaders, Amanda Schneider and Amy Heindel, have prepared and labored extensively leading up to this trip. Their system features a series of sediment filters, an ozone generator, and a clever arrangement of pipes to purify water in large batches. Housed within the Collaboratory's Water Group, the VWOS aims to develop and implement an economically, environmentally, and
culturally sustainable water purification system to meet the needs of
partnering communities.
We are most grateful for everyone's support and prayer thus far. We hope that by the Grace of God, we would be able to accomplish our various objectives. We also look forward to the myriad of experiences and lessons that we would gain from this trip.
Cheers.
