Team member since: March 2nd, 2010 Running in support of: Engineers Without Borders - Concordia University Event: Montreal - Half Marathon (21.1 km) Event Date: September 5th, 2010

As part of the Engineers Without Borders Canada Junior Fellow program I am leaving for Northern Ghana in May until September. I will be working with the Governance and Rural Infrastructure (GaRI) team.

The people of Northern Ghana have limited access to public services and infrastructure. They have insufficient access to well and pumps for clean waters, few reliable roads for transportation and minimal schools to insure a bright future for the children. The lack of infrastructure is big roadblock to unveiling the potential of these vibrant and hearty Ghanaians.

With your support I am hoping to contribute to and build upon EWB's efforts overseas. Your contributions will go towards covering a portion of my placement and directly to supporting EWB's work overseas.
