• Prototyping walls in Searcy
• Haitian Christian School said “we need perimeter walls”
• Take measurements and pictures while in Haiti
• Observe and discuss local construction techniques
Lessons Learned
• Plans must be adaptable
• Not being able to complete a project immediately doesn’t mean failure
• Communication is important
Conclusions
