Hello everyone!
This past week I had the amazing opportunity to travel to several countries, which I will be posting about soon. The first, and the place where I spent the most time, was Myanmar. Read on if you’d like to hear a little more about this amazing experience.
*** Also as an important note – an interesting engineering project to meet a HUGE need in Myanmar is providing access to proper sanitation and bathrooms. Read more about this problem here: http://www.unicef.org/media/media_77952.html – maybe you’ll be inspired to do something about it, I know I definitely have a new appreciation for our clean sanitation systems back home!
