The team will also look into improving sanitation by introducing composting latrines so that the waste can be used as fertilizer. implementation of the projects is slated for the team&#8217;s December visit. Another project being planned is a 30,000-gallon rain catchment cistern which would bring an estimated 130,000 gallons of freshwater to Mare Brignol each year.<\/p>\n<p>Joining the team for the May trip are Chris Orlando and Ed Hayes, from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoucf.org\/\">International Medical Outreach club of UCF<\/a>.
