Frontiers Executive Director works with Engineers Without Borders in his Bolivian hometown

In May 2001, a Bolivian expatriate named Marco Guzman, working
in Toronto, received a letter from the authorities of his hometown, Huarina, telling him of water problems. The May 2001 letter asked Mr. Guzman for three specific things: the construction of a water tank in the community, an overhaul of the water system, and filtration of the water (presumably due to quality problems). Mr. Guzman works for the NGO Frontiers Foundation, and through this organization, heard of Engineers Without Borders. He got in touch with the University of Toronto Chapter and the Huarina Potable Water and Sanitation Project was born.
