Big Community Meeting

Any community project cannot succeed unless the community has accepted it and has become part of it. This project is no exception. To share information about the project and engage the community members in discussion, El Hadji Abou Gueye and the officials of the NGO BanlieueUp invited the residents of Banlieue neighborhood. The meeting was attended by almost 150 community members. After sharing information about Mandela Washington Fellowship program, Achal gave the presentation about the filter and discussed its benefit to homeowners as well as to the community. The response was overwhelming. Community members were excited and eager to learn more about the filter. The meeting went on for about 2 hours. Here are some pictures from that big community meeting.
