EWB Boost
Our chapter has received $50,000 from the Institute on the Environment.
This substantial support will bring us closer to our goals for this year
as well as sustain the growth of our group. These funds will be directed
towards the implementation trip of our phase II project in Uganda this
summer, a summer assessment trip and future implementation of a Biogas
Digester project in Haiti and the start and development of our Geo-wiki
Project here on campus. Read more on the specifics in this Press Release
from IonE at UMNews.
We are honored by IonE's support and excited to strengthen our partnership
with such an outstanding institution. Check out their website at:

Helping Hands
In February 2007, the non-profit Uganda Rural Fund
approached the U's chapter of Engineergs Without Borders to ask for help in
providing clean drinking water and safe sanitation to the children of Hope Integrated
Academy. EWB members did the research, designed the systems, rolleed up their
sleeves, and worked make made the school children's lives better. See the video on the Driven
to Discover page to see more of the work EWB is doing now.
