Engineers Without Borders

ETR Laboratories has recently offered technical support to the Boston Chapter of Engineers Without Borders http://www.ewbboston.org/.

If you are a golfer or know of a corporate sponsor who would find value in sponsorship of a great cause, please consider participation in The First Annual EWB Boston Golf Tournament, Sept 12, @ Stow Acres Country Club.

Engineers Without Borders is a group of mostly Engineers who work on projects internationally, particularly in areas where such expertise is not readily available.  The Boston Chapter is working on projects in Honduras and Tanzania. The focus of Boston EWB is working with local groups in these two countries to facilitate those towns and villages to assist their residents to create solution to the issues they face.

Funds raised are primarily to defray the travel and related expenses of the local members of EWB to go to Honduras and Tanzania in what I would describe as a combination coach and technical adviser for the local projects.  It has been found that locally funded and managed projects are far more likely to survive than those funded and run by outsiders.  Your support of this group is welcome and very much appreciated.
