up up && away

Well, it's certainly been entirely way too long since the last post. So here goes the long needed updates (in no particular order):

*There are now two new execs for fundraising & related issues: Mark & Vinny.

*On the 19th of February, Dr. Eckhardt came to speak to EWB about a variety of issues. We discussed various world-wide issues, social issues, education, food consumption, religious issues, and other problems that plague various parts of the world.

*Things are going well with Tom & the Nyambogo crew. Last heard, they were working on the assessment stuff in tangent with fundraising things. The assessment is either completed or veryy close to completion at this time. They wish to have an assessment trip in June

*Phil & the Burere guys were last heard to be working with the application, which should now be completed. They are also working on assessment questions for the trip.

*Last week at the last general meeting of the quarter, Zahra led a cultural events for everyone in EWB. We played a jeopardy game, learning about the geography, cultural, and politics of Kenya. Although some groups ended up with negative points, we all learned a more about Kenya.

&& last, but definitely not least--especially because it's probably the most exciting...

The Otho Abwao travelers are leaving on Saturday! Yay for EWB's *1st* implementation trip! Wish all the travelers the best of luck as they fly to Kenya. I'm sure it will be an amazing accomplish, and a great show of all the hard work of all of the EWBers. Wahooo! The next blog will be a good recap of the trip with pictures I hope!
