Off Safely





The last day of the Costa Rica program ended safely with all students heading off on the airport shuttle or for a day at the beach. In a week we will meet in frigid Montana, expecting at least an 80 degree F change in temperature. Other pictures include work on the cobb stove, with particular attention given to Emilie for working so hard on her birthday (!), and the completed stove in front of the local Soda. During the community service project, students constructed and installed two of these simple, efficient and inexpensive devices. These stoves will significantly decrease carbon monoxide and airborne particulate wastes that contribute to so many of the respiratory diseases that we saw during the health clinic.
