11 Since the start of the new fiscal year, two environmental engineers from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC) Environmental Laboratory have contributed their time and expertise as mentors to college-aged students as part of an all-volunteer organization dedicated to improving the health and quality of life of developing communities across Latin America.
Dr. Edith Martinez-Guerra and Damarys Acevedo have volunteered through the Clean Water Science Network (CWSN).
“It is a networking program where mentors and mentees work together,” Acevedo said. “In the past, they have also done research projects on water and sanitation issues in Latin American developing countries.”
