Re: Engineers Without Borders

[Guest guest]

Hello Liane, I can see from myspace something must have happened. I am sorry to hear that and hope you consider giving it another try. This group for me is a good thing from where I sit. Seems like a fine bunch of people here. But I am sure you are seeing both sides to folks, for being a leader is not easy at all. I for one send you prayers and hope everything gets better for you. This too shall pass. And this little light of mine. Take care and best wishes to you. Happy Holidays, Namaste and much Metta.

It started with one man, a French engineer, who was approached by an employee to help a small village back home, that didn't have access to water. With a few volunteers, it has mushroomed into a large scale operation, working in partnership, with hundreds of volunteers. They go out into impoverished countries, assess, and design solutions which provide fresh water to small villages. In one story, the little girls couldn't go to school, because they were busy all day long, marching back and forth with huge jugs on their heads, to carry water to the village. Now, they are attending school. The story was on PBS television. Not all the news is bad news, and not EVERY day can be a DORIS Day! Here's a link to the site: http://www.ewb-international.org/about.htm This is an example of the "new paradigm" in action... people coming from the heart to solve problems together. Small networks... starting from a single idea, whose intent is solely to help; a great example too of "service to others". Everyone wins!-- "Truth is something which can't be told in a few words.
