Until I read a recent Univeristy of Delaware Review article, Student group brings hope, water to Africa, I wasn’t aware of the existence of a group known as Engineers without Borders.

The Engineers Without Borders - Delaware Chapter are committed to “designing and implementing sustainable solutions to problems in international developing communities and bridging cultural, economical, and political divides.” Their summer time excursion to Cameroon is detailed in their blog, which is filled with pictures of the chapter in action.

I’ve heard of Reporters Without Borders before, as well as Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres. Given the University’s very strong engineering program, I’m happy to hear that there are students actively engaged in the international developing community like this.
