Engineer of the Year Activities

Tonight after class, I briefly met with Dr Bernard
Amadei, this years Drexel University Engineer of the
Year. He is the engineer who started Engineers
Without Borders! Nonetheless, it was a very rewarding
evening, with wine flowing freely, Dr. Amadei regaled
Dave and I (more Dave then I) with stories from
around the world. Apparently he's had some close
calls with local governments, and has been rescued by
the CIA. He invited Dave and I to come work with him
in Nepal on a project bringing water to villages so
that the young girls whom walk back and forth
everyday can instead go to school.
