Global Poverty Initiative ~ Intro to Development

I was really pleased to see the MIT Global Poverty Initiative (GPI) IAP Workshop panelists talk today about their experiences in doing international development while students at the Institute...

• Matt Orosz -- Described his Peace Corp work in Lesotho and subsequent prototyping and developing solar thermal electricity and sustainable energy systems in D-Lab and creating the Solar Turbine Group.
• Maria Luckyanova -- Described her experience with developing world prosthetics in India and trips to Peru and Germany with MISTI.
• Manish Bhardwaj -- Described his team entering and winning the MIT IDEAS Competition's Yunus Challenge with a TB treatment solution and founding Innovators in Health

Especially good to see the MIT Freshmen interested in international development attending.
