University of Texas at San Antonio Students to Build Bolivia
The UTSA student chapter of Engineers Without Borders (EWB), a registered student organization, is raising funds for its first international, humanitarian project. Engineers Without Borders is a nonprofit organization that designs and implements sustainable engineering projects worldwide. The national organization comprises 300 student and professional chapters active in 47 countries. A group of UTSA students formed a student chapter in 2007.
After a year of organizational groundwork (and a false start on a project in the town of La Ligilla, Mexico, that had to be put on hold because of escalating violence in the region), EWB-UTSA has established a partnership with the town of San Lorenzo, Bolivia, to “adopt” an engineering project.
