right here on KET.

High School students and Western Kentucky are working on a project with global impact for the second time they're building a container clinic that will provide medical services and Liberia.

Our Laura Rogers joined them on site for they're even using some of their summer break to get the job done.

More about that in tonight's Medical News.

>> It is where the people are going to be walking into people who are getting back saying it may look like a humble shipping container people who are going to be delivering babies and other major medical issues that they have injuries or whatever that's going to happen in this room right here.

But this will eventually become a medical clinic for a remote area of the impoverished West African country of Liberia to think about where it's going is really humbling it for myself and then also our students.

The goal is to truly lead.

>> And the opportunity of changing the world happened with in high school age kids.

Brian Welch teaches agriculture and advises the FFA chapter at Madisonville North Hopkins High School.

We're awarded a $10,000 Grant from Harbor freight tools for schools is a great option for us to use those funds, help somebody on a global scale.

Its students took on the freight box challenge.

She went to work and we got a design that we framed it out.

We did all the electric or all the plumbing was have to work together and make sure it's hard work.

More than 400 students participated last year.

Welch's goal is for at least half the student body to take part this time around.

>> We believe we're the only ones in the entire nation doing work just like this.

>> It was inspired by an Alabama school turning containers classrooms for children under us as teachers, we always tell students they can change the world, but very rarely do we give them the opportunity to truly do so.

The students are also learning valuable construction skills.

We pulled that insulation up through the ceiling.

>> And then we ward little bit at the start and we put up a bunch of Salem Pinales.

We have to let you go run for the lights, fans and now lets those skills are combined with a new appreciation for the things we often take for granted.

>> Like basic utilities were able to turn on a water.

Tap water comes out.

These folks over here living in communities where running water.

almost luxury item invoices and their mothers in Liberia that have to ride up to 2 or 3 miles on bike in labor to the nears facility where they can have their children or even on the dirt for their home.

This medical clinic will ease those challenges.

It comes with support from local businesses who donated supplies and eso ES, an international organization who helped with logistics of getting the clinic where it needs to go.

Where actually met a friend from Liberia.

His name is Harry.

>> And he works with UPS.

>> And he was able to get some time so that we can get the freight paid for by them to ship this to my location.

>> It takes a lot of coordination for the whole project to come together.

But it all begins with sweat equity right here on school grounds.

>> And it's really a a full community project for another community as well.

>> So all in the hopes of saving the lives of people, thousands of miles and an ocean away.

For Kentucky edition.
