[LCM Events] Teach In Africa This Summer! (Application to MIT-AITI DEADLINE THIS SUNDAY!!) (fwd)

[Hanan Karam]

Dear all,

Here is information about the MIT Africa Internet Technology Initiative -
Teach in Africa project. A friend who participated last year told me it
was a very fun, interesting, challenging, and rewarding summer project.

Assalaam alaikum,

May I encourage you again this year to take this opportunity to spend time in
Ethiopia, Kenya or Ghana and make some positive impact on young men and women
there.  For example, last year two of the girls who went to Ethiopia
really inspired the few girls who get into the Addis Ababa University
Engineering Faculty and managed to get a higher enrollment for them in the
program.  For you personally, immersing in a different culture may give
you some insight on your own, and is an invaluable learning experience
altogether.

You do NOT need to be EECS major to apply.  If you know enough of java
programming, and you are willing to dedicate some time in the Spring in
preparation-- you will be able to do a good job.  If you are an entrepreneurial
person with a passion to changing lives and creating a better world-- this
summer experience is for you.

Please ask me if you have any questions.  Good luck in the applications and
forward to your friends.

Stay well.
Nasruddin.
