I'll be using this blog to document my six weeks volunteering in Peru for WindAid. We'll be constructing a wind turbine and installing it in a village that needs power. This blog will reflect my own experience and does not represent WindAid itself.

I am the w___________
No, I am not the Walrus - I am the welder. Yesterday, the staff picked to two most promising welders to lead the metal fabrication parts of the project, and I was selected along with my fellow volunteer Jack. So, I spent all day yesterday welding, cutting, and angle grinding pieces of the tower. I'll be doing more of the same today, so I'll try to take some pictures and post an update on progress tonight. It's hot, and tiring work, but I'm enjoying it so far. We'll see how I feel after a second day in a row of sparks and shrapnel. Off to work...
