Khwisero

The book Khwisero was created over the 2011 summer as I traveled to Khwisero, Kenya as a member of Engineers Without Borders (also known as EWB). This book is a documentation of all the work EWB has done with schools in the Khwisero district. It contains portraits of all the head teachers of the schools EWB have implemented projects at. It also contains pictures of all the projects as well as the history of EWB’s work in Khwisero. The club can use the book for many purposes. They’ve already started to use it as a teaching tool for new members. The book was created in a platform that allows for additions to be added to the book by future members and the book can continue to be a valuable resource for the club as long as they see fit.

Finally finished my book

Worked my butt off for 7 months trying to get this done. Still trying to figure out how to make it so I can sell the soft cover instead of just hard cover, as the hard cover costs an arm and a leg. Click the link to check out the first 30 pages.  http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/3027711
