Description

The Oregon State University Engineers Without Borders group (EWB-OSU) is hosting a banquet at the Corvallis Country Club on February 17, 2012 at 6:00 pm. The purpose of the banquet is to raise money for the Lela Community Water Project in Kenya. EWB-OSU has developed a partnership with Lela and is planning the first implementation of the project. This summer students will travel to Kenya to oversee completion of a community well and expansion of a rainwater collection system at the Lela Primary School.

This year, our banquet has been sponsored by CH2M Hill and will feature a catered dinner, performances by local entertainers, and a presentation on our project in Kenya. EWB-OSU’s annual banquet is the biggest fundraiser of the year, and this year the goal is $8,000 with the event. The cost is $50 for the general public or $35 for students and children. Tickets can be purchased by visiting www.ewb-osu.org/banquet or reserved by emailing fundraising@ewb-osu.org for purchase at the door (RSVP is requested).

If attending the banquet is not an option, consider making a donation online at www.ewb-osu.org/donate or by mail (EWB-OSU, 103 Memorial Union #262, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331). Checks should be payable to EWB-OSU, which is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, so all donations are tax deductible.

More information about the Lela Community Water Project can be found at www.ewb-osu.org/kenya_project. The cost of materials for the upcoming implementation is estimated at $16,000. This amount includes hiring a professional well driller and tanks and construction materials for the rainwater system. Airfare for the trip has been provided by Emirate Airlines. Student travelers are determined through a formal selection process, and a professional engineering mentor will travel with the team.
