In December of 2012 group of Dartmouth students and faculty member, Douglas Moody, worked in Fonseca, Nicaragua for the first time and began to assist the community members with the community water project. Bridges to Community contracted technicians from Agua para la Vida to design the water system and to build the water storage tank that feeds the gravity-powered system for water distribution. For the ten days that the Dartmouth group was in Fonseca, the group members dug trenches, laid PVC pipe, and assisted the masons with construction of the water tank.
