Add this event to your CalendarTsimane Development Project - Bolivia
The Tsimane Development Project, also known as the "Bolivia Project" aims to assist an indigenous group called the Tsimane in Bolivia with problems related to drinking water and communications. Further information about the Tsimane and the details of their engineering needs can be found by clicking here. You can also read our project description on the EWB-USA website here.
The Tsimane Development project is lead by Josh Goldman and a committee of interested students and professionals. There are opportunities for all types of engineers and non-engineers as well. We have a particular need for students interested in water treatment, communications (electrical/computer engineering), and health sciences. This project is an awesome opportunity for you to learn and grow both as professional and as a person while doing important work to improve the lives of people in need. Don't be intimidated if you are just starting out or if you are worried about the workload. We have plenty of experienced mentors willing to help in the professional EWB chapter. If you are interested in participating in the project, please email me at jgoldman@unm.edu and come to our next meeting. I look forward to working with you.
Updates:
We have begun working with ISTEC to promote the project, and ISTEC has donated the cost of airfare for one student to particpate in the assessment trip!
Our next commitee meeting is scheduled to take place directly after the general meeting on March 6th at 4:30PM in the ECE Lobby.
