Engineers Without Borders – USA, Denver

We have two events in the St. Anthony Health Passport Summer Class schedule.  The passport is for people that want to be connected with a dynamic group of well-educated, engaged Coloradoans who want to learn how to live better, be healthier, stay active, meet interesting people and contribute to their community.

That two Denver EWB events on the schedule are: 

• A free introduction to EWB-Denver projects (see page 13 of the brochure, attached) offered on Tuesday, July 13^th at the Lakewood Cultural Center (Wadsworth & Alameda Aves.) from 10:30AM to noon,  and
• The Google Earth^TM Simulator Cyber Flight School will be offered (for a $10 donation) on Wednesday, August 11 from 5:30-7:00 PM @ the Health Passport Office at 4231 W. 16th Ave., Denver, Colorado 80204 (see page 15 of the brochure, attached)

To see the different events information click Flight Simulator Brochure and General EWB Brochure or to recieve the full line up go to http://www.myhealthpassport.org/index.php?s=5

We would like to thank all that came out to help with the Cherry Creek Arts Festival.  The fundraiser does not have a total amount earned yet but if tips are a sign it should be a pretty successful year for us.

Many folks stopped by the EWB-Denver Booth just for information about us rather than the ice-cold cocktails we were selling.  Hopefully this will translate into a few new faces at our next meeting.

A couple are traveling to Africa to assist an orphanage with rebuilding their kitchen.  They are doing this on their own as part of their wedding present to each other.  The orphanage is considering wood burning stoves due to cost.  As we know these are toxic and possibly fatal to those using them.

Looking to find some cost effective alternatives for the renovation.  Please contact Chanin Paul chaninpaul@netscape.net if you  ave experience/kwledge about solar cooking and/or methods for obtaining reduced cost Energy Star appliances for the orphanage.
