Interested in spending Summer 2012 in Tanzania? Dartmouth Humanitarian Engineering  
is sending a group of students to Tanzania this summer and we want you to apply!

The travel team will be implementing alternative fuel projects, including improved  
cookstoves and briquetting in rural communities in Tanzania.  DHE has been working  
on developing these technologies for the past several years and has successfully  
implemented similar projects in the rural Kigoma region.  It's a great chance  
to really help shape the projects. This is an awesome opportunity to get hands  
on experience while making a direct and lasting impact!

In case you missed us last week, we're meeting every Tuesday at 8:00 in Cummings  
200 (in Thayer). Applications are due today by midnight.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AN ENGINEER
Don't know anything about stoves or engineering? Not a problem.  DHE is focused  
on diversifying the interests of its group members to gain a more balanced insight  
into the communities in which it works. That means we want people from all different  
departments to get involved and work and travel with us. No matter what your major,  
if you have an interest in visiting rural villages in developing countries we  
want you to tell us your ideas and what you think you could gain from a trip to  
one of the countries in which we're working.

We will also spend a lot of time preparing and gaining the necessary knowledge  
in the next few months. There will be opportunities to learn a ton of new things  
and use them in the summer, as well as bring your own experience, teach others  
and use them on this project.

COMPLETELY STUDENT RUN
DHE prides itself in being completely student run. That means we make all of the  
decisions about how we implement our project

APPLICATION PROCESS
DHE can only take a limited number of students on this trip. We will therefore  
have an application process where you'll have plenty of opportunities to tell  
us why and how you fit into this initiative. You will need to first submit a written  
application to DHE by email by *Wednesday, April 4* and we will then invite you  
for a short interview/chat to get to know you better.You can find the application  
attached to this email.

OTHER OPPORTUNITIES
Interested in the project but can't travel in the Summer? We have tons of engineering  
and non-engineering related things you can work on; exciting projects, tasks,  
research, independent studies you could take on.  If you'd like to be off campus  
in Fall 2012 and fancy working in Tanzania with this project, come to the info  
session and find out what we've got to offer.

DHE Meetings
Come check us out in Cummings 200 every Tuesday at 8:00. To get to C200: from  
the Great Hall in Thayer take the staircase on the right (facing the clock) and  
the first room on your left at the top of the stairs.

Blitz back to the DHE account, Kathleen Meyer, or James Kennedy if you have any  
questions.
