  • UN General Assembly to Seek Urgent Action on Poverty, Education and Health to Achieve Millennium Development Goals 1-2 April 2008
    Note to Correspondents UN General Assembly to Seek Urgent Action on Poverty, Education and Health to Achieve Millennium Development Goals 1-2 April 2008 With progress lagging in the global attempt to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by 2015, the United Nations General Assembly will hold a special two-day debate in New York on 1-2 April to accelerate progress and to help tackle the most intractable problems. The debate, “Recognizing the achievements, addressing the challenges and getting back on track to achieve the MDGs by 2015," will concentrate on the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, and combating malaria and other diseases. “The poverty, education and health Goals are the areas where progress is most urgently required and where experience suggests that positive results have a catalytic effect on the other Goals,” says United Nations General Assembly President Srgjan Kerim. President Kerim, who has made the Millennium Development Goals one of his priorities, says the debate comes at a time when “it is already clear that our pace is too slow.” According to UN statistics, the absolute number of poor in sub-Saharan Africa is still rising and projected to stand at 360 million by 2015. Globally, around 72 million primary age children are not enrolled in school. And every year, more than half a million women lose their lives to causes related to childbirth, almost 10 million children die before reaching their fifth birthday, and an estimated 1.7 million people in Africa become infected with HIV.

  • RASD Summer 2007 ------Full Belly Project
    Duke Engineers Without Borders: RASD Summer 2007 ------------------- Full Belly Project Introduction: The overall goal for our work with the Full Belly Project this summer is to introduce their Universal Nut Sheller technology to the Rural Agency for Sustainable Development (RASD) and distribute the technology in the immediate areas surrounding Nkokonjero in the Mukono district of Uganda. A production facility was set-up in Iganga, Uganda earlier this summer by the Full Belly Project and a number of students from the University of North Carolina and the Olin College of Technology. During our time working with RASD, we wish to make the RASD center a distribution center by creating a market for the machines. Why we are doing what we are doing---Mission Rationale The UNS has an enormous potential to alleviate some of the stress rural citizens in Uganda face by efficiently and quickly shelling several types of agriculture. For instance, citizens in eastern Ugandans can spend hours each day shelling peanuts, a staple food source in the area. Others spend time husking coffee or shelling shea nuts. The UNS can save rural citizens hours upon hours of manual labor that can be used for far better means. Our aim is to introduce this extremely effective machine into the hands as a many people as possible. Trying to go as an outside entity (a bunch of young American, white people, more specifically) it would be very hard to introduce the technology to people in the Nkokonjero area any without any outside experience in introducing agricultural technolgies nor extensive knowledge of the area.

  • 10 Cases of Appropriate Technology
    10 Cases of Appropriate Technology - Published June 12, 2010 by xilebat – The goal of Appropriate Technology (AT) is to increase the standard of living for the developing world without condescension, complication, or environmental damage. Typical AT inventions are more labor intensive, require fewer resources, and use low cost or readily available materials wherever possible. Special attention is paid to the social, cultural, and ethical aspects of the communities the technology is intended for. Submitted for your approval are 10 inventions using these principles, and they are every bit as ingenious as anything coming out of Silicon Valley. You will also find several links to charitable organizations distributing these products for little or no cost, should you wish to contribute to their efforts. 10 One Laptop Per Child The developing world may be falling behind when competing for resources, but it hasn’t even started regarding technology. The “One Laptop One Child” project aims to fix this. Its goal is to create a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected computer for children in the third world. Its XO laptop is about the size of a small textbook, with built-in wireless and a screen readable in direct sunlight (for children who school outdoors). The computer is extremely durable, energy efficient, and has a childlike industrial design to discourage gray market trafficking—whip this out at the boardroom and everybody will know who’s NOT getting to use it. XO laptops have already been delivered to children in Afghanistan and East Africa, with additional shipments scheduled for the Palestinian Occupied Territories. More information.

It is an old merchants' town overlooking the entrance to the Baltic Sea with so many architectural treasures that it's known as the "City of Beautiful Spires." This socially progressive and tolerant metropolis manages to run efficiently yet feel relaxed. And given the Danes' highly tuned environmental awareness, Copenhagen can be enjoyed on foot or on a bicycle. Sights—Amalienborg Palace and its lovely square; Tivoli Gardens; the Little Mermaid statue; panoramic views from Rundetaarn (Round Tower); Nyhavn and its nautical atmosphere; Christiansborg Palace and the medieval ruins in the cellars. Museums—The sculptures and impressionist works at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek; the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art and its outdoor sculpture park; paintings from the Danish Golden Age at the Hirschsprung Collection; Viking and ancient Danish artifacts at the Nationalmuseet; neoclassical sculpture at Thorvaldsens Museum. Memorable Meals—Traditional herring at Krogs Fiskerestaurant; top-notch fine dining at Geranium; Nordic-Italian fusion at Relae; traditional Danish open-face sandwiches at Schonnemanns; the best of the city's street food, all in one place, at Reffen Copenhagen Street Food. Late Night—The delightful after-dark atmosphere at Tivoli Gardens; indie rock at Loppen in Christiana; a concert at Vega. Walks—Taking in the small island of Christianshavn; walking through Dyrehaven to see herds of deer; walking from Nyhavn to Amalienborg Palace; strolling along Stroget, where the stores show off the best in Danish design.
