Engineers In Action Board Members, Friends and Family to Fast For 36 Hours From Dec. 3-5th

We know that we can reduce infant mortality, provide better health, and increase crop production, reducing hunger by providing communities with clean water and sanitation. Extreme poverty and lack of access to clean water and sanitation can be eliminated from our world!

In solidarity with our sisters and brothers who live in extreme poverty, we are putting ourselves in the shoes of someone who is hungry, really hungry, by fasting for 36 hours and drinking only tap water, for 36 hours.

We’re seeking sponsors who’ll donate $1, $3, $5 $10 or more an hour, for those 36 hours, (or a one time amount) towards the work of Engineers In Action.

Update: Mission accomplished! We were able to raise over $10,000 through your generosity. Way to go, guys!
