Teamwork has been the theme of the past couple of days in Nicaragua. The hard (and dirty) work of assembling ovens made from 55 gallons drums, bricks, and mud has occupied all available hands. After EOS staff prepared the modified barrels with a door and a racks inside, a 15 cm deep rectangular trench is made. A "table" is then built by making a frame of concrete blocks and bricks. These are held together with mud, which is painstakingly mixed to right consistency with (obviously) soil and water. The building continues by making a space for the wood fire below the barrel, placing the barrel in position, and then surrounding the barrel with bricks and mud. Ovens were built at the EOS office, a local house, and a nearby farm. Students helping the community!
Everyone also began their "deep dives" into their team projects. Our teams are looking for uses of waste rice husks, new models for community solar panels for providing energy to isolated villages, and helping enhance the proper usage of water chlorinators...although this isn't exactly what we thought we would be doing.
Lastly, for a group where not everyone knew each other coming in, it has been awesome to see everyone getting along and having fun both during work and during down times. I won't hold it against the students that they didn't let me win either at Settlers of Catan or at card games. Luckily, EOS has wifi and hammocks to help with the downtime....
