It's prototyping time! I love this for several reasons. First, it makes people's ideas come to life, even if in less than perfect form. Second, it forces folks to be scrappy. Above, one team is constructing a water-barrow (think barrel on its side, pushed or pulled using wheelbarrow-like handles). This one is child-sized, an effort to get kids to transport water from the village well without undue physical strain. They're building it from materials scrapped from the campus construction, and they've recruited one worker and one security guard to assist. Third, and best, we get to test this with actual kids from the village tomorrow. This is one of four water transports this team is working on. Another team is prototyping 20 mosquito-repelling products for a simultaneous test.
It's amazing how quickly and ingeniously they work. We started this process only a week ago and look where we are. Hoping to get some good field shots tomorrow.
