The village of La Pitajaya, Peru, sits in the Peruvian Andes, about two hours outside the city of Trujillo. It is so isolated that when a team of Princeton University students walked in for a visit this winter, they used a road that residents built by hand so their children could travel to school.

The students in the accompanying video, with the Princeton chapter of Engineers Without Borders, were in Peru to scout the area for their newest project: building a pipeline to bring drinking water to La Pitajaya’s 150 residents.
