Engineers Without Borders
Engineers Without Borders is a non-profit group of
volunteers lending their expertise to improve the lives of disadvantaged
youth around the world. Engineers Without Borders has over 12,000
members in 300 chapters around the country. The local chapter
consists of 17 student members, one professional advisor and two faculty
advisors. Their current project is to improve the living conditions at
Rhema Grace Orphanage located in Tiko, Cameroon in western Africa. In
the first phase, scheduled to take place this August, they plan to
repair the kitchen roof, upgrade the well with a hand pump to provide
fresh, clean water without the use of the current pumping system which
requires the use of expensive electricity to operate, adding a rainwater
catchment system to supplement the well water, installation of a wood
burning stove in the kitchen as well as install an adequate ventilation
system and repair the leaky roof of the kitchen and dormitory.

UAA Engineering Club will be presenting on their current project,
latest progress, and opportunities on how you can volunteer on future
