Hello! I have been assigned my project to Haiti! We’ll be
designing an orphanage for a ministry organization called God's Vision for
Haiti. I’ll be working on the water and wastewater systems of the project. For
the four-month internship I will be in Colorado Springs, Colorado, but towards
the beginning of the internship I’ll take a short (about 2 week) trip to Haiti
to do field work with a team of engineers such as percolation tests and to help
survey and get an understanding of the site we’re designing for. I am also
hoping we’ll be visiting with local ministries as well! I am learning a little bit of Haitian Creole; hopefully I'll have enough to strike up friendly conversations. Here is a link to the
project description: http://www.emiworld.org/projects/projectProfile_5569.php
My summer has mostly consisted of two short trips and moving from my room
in Davis to my room here in Los Gatos. I went with my family to to visit
Patrick's Point and Crater Lake, and then a week later we visited family in Southern
California. Now I'm getting ready for my internship, which I will leave for on
August 15th. Get in touch with me soon! It may be a little more difficult to
get in touch when I’m settling into the apartment in Colorado; my fellow
interns and I have yet to decide if we want internet at the apartment since
there is a nearby library. I’ll have my cell phone and would be happy to call and
talk though!
Blessings, Nicole
