This was a great summer of learning and growing in the most supportive professional atmosphere I have experienced. I was especially appreciative of how much our supervisor taught us. Even if we didn't need to know the theory or background of something to do our job, he would still take time out of his work to teach us. In addition to our main projects, we also were able to do little projects like setting up a solar array for a desired voltage/current window, setting up and testing an RO system, collecting flowmeter data, building instrumentation and control panels for use in a Tanzanian refugee camp, performing pressure tests for chlorinator bowls, and calibrating instrumentation for pressure and flow measurement.
We were also really lucky to be able to tag along with our supervisor in his meetings with the Water Mission team, corporate partners, and potential partners. We were able to meet with department heads in communication, community development, and other essential parts of Water Mission to learn about how all these parts work together to provide people with safe water.
