The Ludlowe Corps students and families personally delivered and assembled forty Sawyer water filters to provide clean water for the community. Students and parents also spent time cleaning up the flood debris, and rebuilding some of the affected homes. Education: Our volunteers and generous donors helped raise enough money to fund a new elementary school in Guinaw Rails, Senegal. Under the direction and determination of the Waranka Association in Senegal, the project was a great success!!
