The primary task was the construction of 4 Arborloo style composting latrines at the middle school. This included verifying the design, purchasing materials, and assisting in the construction. Another task was the surveying of Fossa Alterna latrines that were built for several households in the prior year. Along with accomplishing the goals set forth for the trip, the team received feedback from the community on their satisfaction with the current latrines and further needs in the village. Another trip is planned for next year. ]]> http://www.ewbdenver.org/2009/10/23/august-2009-trip-to-togo/feed/ 0 A Special Thanks From the Togo Project http://www.ewbdenver.org/2009/10/21/a-special-thanks-from-the-togo-project/ http://www.ewbdenver.org/2009/10/21/a-special-thanks-from-the-togo-project/#comments Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:43:08 +0000 Jason http://www.ewbdenver.org/2009/10/22/a-special-thanks-from-the-togo-project/ Togo Soccer A big thank you to the Wollins Family who regularly sets up a donation box at their daughter’s soccer club in Denver.
