Greetings From the Guatemala Crew of 2008

From May 21st 2008 until June 3rd 2008, a group of 13 Western New England College students, headed by Bruce Clemens, an assistant professor of management, and Steven Northrop, an associate professor of electrical engineering, will be in San Lucas Toliman, Guatemala, enhancing the town's sustainability by improving its water distribution system and by working on other infrastructure projects.

Keeping it HOT

Today the group took a tour of Xela on the way to the Hot Springs.  These pools are filled with naturally heated water that drips down rocks.  The dripping of the water causes beautiful sulfur deposits and cave like structures within the rocks.  These pools sit over 12,000 feet above sea level.  A photo of a canyon on the way to the hot springs is posted below.  We all had fun swimming in the hot water and eating lunch along the pools.  We also stopped at a market on the way home.  Tonight we are having a talk with Victor, head of board of directors for Agua del Pueblo.
