| While this was the fifth year that the Wood County and Parkersburg
Rotary Clubs provided medical treatment with doctors, nurses, and medicines, it was also a year we
provided water purification equipment. Here four engineering students from
WVU, Rodney and Dr Lin were the water purification team. Two blue barrel
filters were installed in the feeding centers with materials for two more.
Also two chlorinators that run continuously on locally available materials.
Engineers Without Borders provided sponsorship.
