Paid Help for Haiti

Greetings, Adams Communication & Engineering Technology (ACET), Inc. has received an immediate request to provide assistance to the devastation from the recent earthquake that has befallen the nation of Haiti. We are looking for anyone interested in going to Haiti to help for a 3- 6 month period.  There are no particular skills sets defined at this point, except the willingness to help wherever needed. We will be presenting folks and highlighting their unique skills and trade qualifications, so if the opportunity to help in your area exists – it will be noted and presented. As you can well imagine, any skill that you may have – can be of great help.

Typical skill sets needed:
- Carpenters
- Masons
- Electricians
- Medical Personnel
- Communications
- Builders
- Heavy Equipment Operators
- Plumbers
- Logistics
- Etc.

THIS IS NOT A VOLUNTEER REQUEST – you will be paid for the work you do. This is a temporary employment assignment that will include travel, expenses, remuneration with an understanding that housing accommodations will be very basic.  All that is needed at this point is a passport or ability to obtain one ASAP.

If you are seriously interested or know of someone who would be interested – please email Onekqua Beverly (otbeverly@adamscomm.com) ASAP,  and I will provide more details for you at that time.

This is a unique opportunity to make a difference to the people of Haiti!

Cyber Flight School in Lakewood on Jan 21st

Cyber-FlightThe Denver Chapter of Engineers Without Borders announces the launching of its Cyber-Flight School on January 21st, 2010 at 7PM (1900) at the Jefferson County Library located at 10200 W. 20th Avenue (just west of Kipling) in Lakewood.  

EWB Denver was recently granted permission from Google Earth to use classes in piloting its two flight simulators as fundraisers to support its water and sanitation projects in Ecuador, Togo, and Madagascar.  For a $5 donation, cyber-flight students will learn the basics of flight in the very realistic 3-D cyber space of Google Earth terrain (including all of Colorado‘s mountains!) without having to worry about turbulence, head winds, fog, or other air traffic. 

Laptops with WIFI (pre-loaded with Google Earth) are not required to take the class but students are encouraged to bring them along with fully-charged batteries.  The class is scheduled to last about 90 minutes.

For more information about the two Google Earth flight simulators, and other EWB activities during future events, visit Yourhub.com or EWB Denver Events.

Reservations are recommended because space will be limited.  Email Jim Gusek by clicking here to request a seat assignment and cyber-boarding pass.  Sorry, due to recent cutbacks, in-flight/class cyber meals or beverages will not be offered but there is a café in the library just outside the meeting room.  We do however allow you to bring bags on with no extra charge.

So fasten your seat belt low and tight across your waist, place your tray table in the upright and locked position, stow your carryon bag in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you, and come fly with EWB Denver and Google Earth.  Experience or medical clearance is not required.
