WPI Rainwater Harvesting Project
Feb. 19, 2015
The rural community of Guachtuq, located in the mountainous Alta Verapaz region of Guatemala, is one of many worldwide that lack water security. During the dry season, February to May, the community relies solely on the “finca,” a polluted, spring-fed water collection basin. While the Finca is located on public land, the water source originates on private property, and access is tenuous. Though the community is currently allowed to use the water, most members walk over an hour, multiple times a day, to collect water. Finca water is limited during the dry season, leaving the community lacking adequate quantities of water to meet basic needs. Water-quality testing has shown that the finca is contaminated with coliform and harmful E. coli, pathogens that can cause illnesses requiring medical attention. EWB-USA WPI seeks to provide a sustainable source of potable drinking water for all 220 members of Guachtuq and improve water security throughout the region. |

Author of "The Morphine Dream"
Apr. 02, 2015
Starting at age 13 when his father's suicide spun his family into chaos, Donald Brown found himself swirling in a sea of uncertainty. He rebelled, was labeled a "loser," dropped out of high school, and put a promising baseball career on hold to join the Marines. A bizarre accident put his plans out of reach so he settled for a factory job where an industrial accident crushed his knee and left him wheelchair-bound. Doctors told him he'd never walk again. Then, his marriage failed. Brown felt utterly defeated. But while on morphine for pain Brown dreamed he would graduate from Harvard Law School and walk across America. Everyone told him he was crazy. Undeterred, over the next few years, Brown would accomplish both goals. This awe-inspiring story chronicles Brown's journey, both physical and metaphorical, to re-calibrate his life. From Boston to Big Sur, from the factory floor to the halls of the Ivy League, this book celebrates determination and courage and offers hope for those who need to reboot their lives. |

Family Genealogy
Apr. 09, 2015
If you don't know where to start exploring your you family history OR even if you don't care a bit about your family history, Marnie will point you in a direction that should be helpful. If you are already addicted to genealogy, please feel free to join in and add to the presentation. Marnie's mother started researching her family's ancestors years ago. She got caught up in genealogy when her mother, then in her 90s, wanted to know what Raymond, NH, was like in the late 1770s. It has been straight down hill (or up hill depending upon your perspective) since then. Marnie is pretty much self-taught. Information from conferences, workshops, online webinars and such has combined with her library research skills allowing her to discover that her ancestors, her husband' ancestors and her ex-husband's ancestors were all in Ipswich in the 1600s. She has also done some research for friends. |

Some of the athletes profiled include: David Robinson, Dikembe Mutombo, Steve Finley, Scott Brosius, Butch Hobson, Tony Amonte, Dontrelle Willis, Dolph Schayes, Ron Mix, Kevin Johnson, Warrick Dunn, Shawn Kemp, Mo Vaughn, and Kellen Winslow, among others. |
