Over the summer I will be working in India on a rural engineering project at a local NGO called ARTI (www.arti-india.org). This work was organised by the development charity ‘Engineers without Borders UK’ (EWB) www.ewb-uk.org. My work will involve the development of electricity generation in rural communities through the use of a biogas-digester and diesel engine. The aim of this project is to provide local people with cheaply produced power which will hopefully enable them to sustainably develop their local economy.
The aim of this blog is to keep you updated with the project and hopefully entertain you with some interesting pictures and stories! It will be updated on a regular basis throughout the project and will aim to give an insight as to the kind of work going on in development and engineering in India. If you want to get in touch feel free to email me at jacklewis1986@googlemail.com.
I am leaving on 1st July and graduate tomorrow so I better get back to packing!
