This past summer, members from the Kenya project traveled to the village of Kolunje to begin implementing our project. Check out these amazing pictures and read about their experience at ewbkolunje.blogspot.com!

We’ve had a busy weekend! Saturday we talked to perspective students at the Rutgers Open House and Sunday we helped out at the Unite Race Half Marathon and 5k. Thanks so much to all of our volunteers for making our chapter better!

"When I first got to Guatemala, I realized that all the work we had been doing wasn't just for ourselves- it was for the improvement of an entire community. It was amazing to see how much the kids love going to school and learning, and I think that’s just a sign that they’re already doing great in terms of education. I think the best that we can do is provide the students with an environment where they are able to focus on learning. What I love about EWB is that it shows that helping communities in need globally is definitely possible. While it's far from easy, reaching a world where everyone has clean water and safe learning environments is something we can all do and work towards. Being in the area and seeing the sense of community, it was incredible to see everyone was so hopeful and so united- I think it’s something that we could all really learn from."

"What made me want to keep coming back was I loved the people the most. I’ve met so many people that I’m motivated by or inspired by who taught me that success doesn’t have to be this far away thing that happens when I graduate, it can be something that I can accomplish today. If I can give people a reason to come and look up to us and help the projects, then that feels meaningful to me. I think it’s great when people get to travel. But for them to travel it’s like you have 30 people doing work all year long so people can travel. Being really really a part of that work is so cool, to me. "

On this #RUGivingDay and #wcw we’re appreciating our current Guatemala project lead, Angela, with these wonderful girls of Chi Elias. EWB just started a new project fixing their school, which focuses on empowering their students and gender equality.

“I know there’s so much work that needs to go into it but it’s good to have at least a small part in that. Bringing that knowledge back gives you a sort of motivation to see the project through. You want to do it right and it’s a whole process but it really guides you on the path to success. At EWB, we focus on sustainability to improve the future and make sure that our projects will last for decades. These projects will overall be a benefit to the community so they don’t have to worry about gathering water and they can improve their community in other ways. “
