Title: Engineers Without Borders doc
Description: This past summer, a team of up-and-coming engineers helped bring clean drinking water to an African village. As part of an Engineers Without Borders project, the University of Minnesota student group implemented a solar-powered water supply system for an entire school and its surrounding community in Mulobere, Uganda. And Beth Anderson, the Institute on the Environment's video producer, was there to capture the story on video. Her documentary, Water for Mulobere, premieres April 27 in Minneapolis. The evening kicks off with a performance by the Hayor Bibimma African Dance Company, and closes with a Q&A session among the students and the filmmaker. FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC This event is co-sponsored by Global Spotlight, the Office of International Programs’ biennial focus on a region of the world and a pressing global issue.
