Belen Team has started coordination with a major corporate sponsor (to be announced later) regarding receiving financial and equipment support for the construction of the clinic. We expect start receiving substantial contributions in the spring of 2010.


Amazon Promise has completed construction of a temporary "pre-clinic" on an adjacent property (see the photo below). EWB Belen Team will be working on designing and building of water purification system and a sanitation system for this new structure. This will provide a unique opportunity to field-test scaled-down versions of these system for the main clinic and gain critically important experience of doing work in the area.


The conceptual design of the clinic has been finalized (see renderings below) and the team is now concentrating on preparing submittals for the local regulatory approval.
