It was definitely worthwhile. I got to see the challenges that a third-world country faces first hand. I learned that the people are very capable and knowledgeable about many things and have many contributions to design and engineering, although they are lacking in engineering principles.

I learned how to solve problems with no "perfect" solution. I'm so excited to apply it to my job. I learned that people can understand basic physics principles without having formal training. I learned that there are challenges in the world that I can provide a solution for. Larissa C - Brigham Young University View Entire Review

I gained a huge appreciation and a greater understanding of the needs of people in a different culture, and the process of design and problem solving. YES. A student - Brigham Young University View Entire Review
