The Simwatachela Sustainable Agricultural and Arts Program is seeking a geology intern.

SSAAP is looking for a student with a geology background to do research on the quality of water in Sierra Leone. SSAAP is looking to expand its water project in Sierra Leone through hand-dug wells, however, the project is unsure of the soil quality. Sierra Leone is a minerally-rich country, in diamonds, silver, platinum, copper, oil, etc. If we dig wells for the residents of the villages, will they be drinking unsafe water? How deep would the wells have to be dug to ensure safety of water quality for the residents?

This might make a good thesis project.
