Engineers Without Borders help locally, make plans for Zimbabwe

10/01/2014

Members of the Akron Student Chapter of Engineers Without Borders (EWB), led by advisor Dr. Chris Miller, associate professor of civil engineering, have been volunteering with the Buckeye Trail Association to expand and add trails at West Branch State Park in Ravenna, OH. Student volunteers learned how to clear the trail properly and safely, and have made a great impact!

EWB members are also gearing up for their first overseas project. The students are planning and raising funds to travel to Binga, Zimbabwe, where they will partner with Empty the Orphanage Ministries to assist in adding a dining hall to an existing transition home, called New Hope Home.
