Engineers Without Borders

[Guest guest]

This is a wonderful example of how we can each make a difference.

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. Those who simplify the universe only reduce the expansion of its meaning. "
