• Lead Project Manager / Spanish Interpreter (Fixed Term Contract)

  • Jan 2014 - May 2014

  My role was lead project manager and interpreter for a WASH programme to install a gravity-fed drinking water system to Santa Cruz de Achuapa, a remote community in North West Nicaragua as part of Raleigh's commitment to youth development (from leadership to cross-cultural appreciation) through sustainable initiatives. 120 young people took part in the three month programme. The Raleigh project was supported by the local business partner: Cooperativa Juan Francisco Paz Silva (provider of fair-trade sesame seed oil to The Body Shop). Within the scope of Raleigh's International Citizen Service methodology, the end result was impressive: · The project had involved 1,200 man days · 10,206 metres of water pipes had been laid · 50 workers were involved on a daily basis · 3,910 kgs of cement were used · 23,460 kgs of sand had been collected to use with the cement · 46 households now have fresh drinking water · 430 people now have drinking water in their houses · 14,000 litres of drinking water are stored in four holding tanks for daily consumption · 84% of the community now have drinking water · 1 year - the time the project had been planned · 30 years - the time the community has been waiting for this project to be delivered And the project continues. Juan Francisco Paz Silva committed to the completion of this project with the local community in the final remote and isolated sector of the community called San José. Great to know that 100% of the community will have access to drinking water soon. Read the full story at www.shaunstraveladventures.com Show less
