In January 2008, the engineers went to Abheypur to implement various projects. Our team developed educational campaigns to partner and complement their engineering projects. Working with the engineers' solar-powered well and water harvesting system, two sessions of Natacha Poggio's design classes worked on several campaign options for Abheypur.

Our campaign aims to teach the values of cleanliness, respect and sharing using images and universal languages. The goals were to convey the importance of sharing, respect for water resources and sanitation.

The campaign included t-shirts, posters, activity books, and painting an educational mural on their school wall.

After completing the initial design, we sent our ideas to the village, which were returned to us with their comments and feedback so we could revise our work. Look at the pictures to see our progress from start to finish!

With the great help of WELFund and generous donations, we were able to take our projects to Abheypur, India! From January 6-19, our team of designers went with the EWB to paint the mural for the girls' school and distribute the rest of the campaign.
