EWB...Beyond Borders


Matt Barber, from the Usalama Project, and I presented to the Municipal Engineers of New York (MENY) on Wednesday evening. Our topic was "Engineers Without Borders 'Keeping it Simple' – Using Engineering Fundamentals to Build Big in the Developing World". The presentation went quite well, and many expressed interests not only in the projects, but in EWB-NY as a chapter.
