The trip wasn't about partying. It was about passing on what they know to help save lives.
"At first they were like why are you here and then we were like we wanna help you," mentioned sophomore and engineering management major Alexis Campbell, "So they were very welcoming."
"When we were talking to them anytime we came up, talked about water they would just say, 'Yes! Yes!', told senior and civil engineering major Dan Kientz, "Because they know it's a big problem and it's why their children get sick."
Water samples they collected showed traces of bacteria, E. coli and coliform in the area.
