I am directing a group of students to work on a community service project in Cambodia.
We gonna tackle the water quality problem over there. Hence we came out some plans. Among those, we try to introduce LifeStraw, product of Vestergaard Frandsen. Besides, we also wanna work on ceramic and biosand filters.
This lifestraw able to filter 700 liter of water. It is sufficent for a man to use for a year. It also able to filter out 99.99% waterborne bacteria and parasites.
As for ceramics filter as shown above and biosand filter below, they are proven effective and well develop in many rural areas n Cambodia. This is a great project to work on and we able to engaged in community problem and come out with science and technological solution.
We hope that we can give these kids smiles and hopes. They have to be empowered to develop themselves, community and the country. Hence this water problem will be one of the way to break the poverty, sickness and inability to develop cycle.
