University of Portland Engineers Without Borders Chapter Heads to Honduras

Randell Harrison was asked to mentor the  University of Portland Chapter of Engineers Without Borders as they work on projects to improve stream crossings for major roads in the village of Guadalupe Carney, near Trujillo on the Caribbean side of Honduras. The projects will also involve making safer pedestrian access, so that villagers can avoid walking along the highway, which has had several fatalities.
