Albert Frick Heads to Honduras to Assist Engineers Without Borders

Albert is a mentor with the University of Maine (UMO) Student Chapter of Engineers Without Borders (EWB).  The UMO EWB is a group of students, primarily comprised of engineering students, who have adopted a project to help improve human sanitation for a village in Dulce Vivir, Honduras.  

These students have committed to design, fund, and construct the subsurface wastewater disposal system to treat the wastewater from the village, and to teach the Dulce Vivir community how to operate and maintain the system.

Albert has been working on this project for the last 4 years assisting in the septic design, soil testing and oversight.  He is returning to the village later this week to assist in the construction of the wastewater disposal system.  We wish him safe travels.
