Well hello again we have a busy week coming up starting on Monday with a lecture from Andrew Lamb the CEO of Engineers without borders UK this will run between 1 and 2 pm in the post grad suit in the James Watt South building (room 433).

Next up is the social with the University of Strathclyde engineers without borders society which will also be on the Monday the 10th , some of us will be meeting at hill head underground station at 5.30 and heading over to the counting house in George square for 6.15. Could I ask that every one brings three pounds to pay the deposit on the tables which you will get back at the end.

Now to Tuesday we will be running a stall at the Internship fair in the university to promote EWB's placements as well as the society so come along help out or just have a look. More information here.

Finally our weekly meeting will be hosted by Iza one of our training coordinators, concerning global water issues and arsenic groundwater contamination in Bangladesh. Iza is going to give two presentations describing both of these matters, followed by a group exercise, so it will be both informative and interactive. This will run at 6pm in the Boyd Orr Lecture Theatre C (5th floor) the same room as before.

On 2nd April, EWB-GU hosted its first ever all-day training event centred around the theme of WASH (WAter, Sanitation and Hygiene), the new committee having organised, publicised and deployed the surprise series of workshops in less time than is theoretically possible.

Brian Reed from WEDC (the Water, Engineering and Development Centre at Loughborough University) kicked the day off with a general introduction to WASH, highlighting the holistic and cross-disciplinary approach it promotes, something that is essential to ensure the long-term success of international development projects.
