Project Leader Carolyn Purington, BME '10

Project Ecuador aims to build a daycare center in the Santa Rosa de Ayora, an indigenous community 45 minutes north of the city of Quito, Ecuador. The community was destroyed by an earthquake 15 years before. Project Ecuador recently completed a 15 day assessment of the area and the resources to build a structure and educate local masons on engineering/masonry techniques for earthquake resistant structures.
