Pre-Guatemala

Between graduation and Guatemala, I've been spending my time prepping for the trip and taking small trips to spend time with friends and family. I'll be heading to Guate at the end of the month at which point I'll start posting about my work as an EWB-USA Guatemala in-country intern. Some things to expect:

• Municipal planning for Joyabaj analyzing existing infrastructure vs. necessary infrastructure and the resources necessary for (as well as barriers preventing) desired infrastructure development
• Monitoring and evaluation of a roughing filter servicing the city of Joyabaj
• Preparation for (and eventual construction of) my senior design team's vehicle bridge
• General notes from assessment and technical review of other projects in Guatemala
• Spanish classes in Xela at the the Minerva Spanish School 
• A trip to Panama to attend the Design Global, Engineer Local course (!!!)

Those are the main events/projects I'm anticipating, so stay tuned for info and insights into these items and beyond as the months progress!
