Recently, I attended a meeting of a local chapter of the Society of Automotive Engineers and presented a talk about EWB-Denver’s active projects in Ecuador, Togo, and Madagascar. Disappointingly, the audience was a bit thin because of a big snowstorm that day but the folks who did make it to the meeting made up for it with their enthusiasm.
One of the SAE members was quite moved by my talk and the work that the Denver EWB Chapter is doing. Several days later, this person made a very generous personal donation and is motivating family members and friends to get involved. In addition, a partially filled-out matching grant application from this person’s employer accompanied the hand-written donation cover letter! It’s this kind of generosity and kindness that allows us to travel to distant villages that really need our engineering expertise.
