Here’s a good example of how family and friends can help benefit to our project in El Toro, Argentina. Members of our current VP’s (Paul Hlavinka) family organized a successful rummage sale at the United Church of Christ in Traill County, North Dakota. This fundraiser brought in over $500 for our project! Our chapter would like to sincerely thank Mrs. Hlavinka and the members of the United Church of Christ for all of their efforts. Please see the attached scan of the local newspaper article for more details. Tuesday’s meeting will be at Howard Community College, Columbia, room ST 222 at 7:30 pm. The campus map can be accessed through the following link: http://www.howardcc.edu/about_hcc/getting_around/maps_and_directions/index.html The agenda for tomorrow’s meeting will be:
Hope to see you all there! The University of MD, College Park Chapter of EWB-USA Brazil Project Team is in need of a professional mentor (or mentors!) to assist with the design and implementation of a potable water system to supply a school of approximately 110 students on Ilha das Peças, Brazil. The project is currently in the design phase and the team is hoping to travel with a professional mentor in summer of this year for the first stage of project implementation. A detailed project description can be found here: A mentor with a background in potable water treatment and conveyance would be very helpful; PE license is a plus but not mandatory. (If you are unable to travel, the team would still be very glad to have local design assistance.) If you are interested in helping out or would like to learn more, please email Project Leader Alex Ferrufino at ferru.ale@gmail.com and Chapter Advisor Dr. David Lovell at lovell@umd.edu. |
