Are you interested in learning about a greenhouse built by Carleton students in the Peruvian Andes?  This past summer members of the Carleton group of Engineers Without Borders worked in Ccapacmachay, Peru to combat malnutrition and inadequate sanitation.  Topics discussed will include the future of our project in Ccapacmachay and a synopsis of our projects in the Carleton and Northfield communities.  For more information on the club, feel free to send us an email or visit our website at go.carleton.edu/ewb/
