The UNL chapter of Engineers Without Borders is planning to return to Madagascar this summer as part of a 10-year commitment to help the village of Kianjavato.

This summer, two teams of EWB students will help the village by improving its access to clean water (in May) and installing solar panels that will provide electricity to schools (in August).

Libby Jones and Shannon Bartelt-Hunt, associate professors of civil engineering, are faculty advisers to EWB, which began making trips to Madagascar in 2008.
