Got about 20 minutes of free time? If so, I urge you to take a look at this episode of a series on the Big Ten Network called Global Penn State, which shows how Penn State students and faculty are making a difference around the world.
You won’t believe what Penn Staters are doing in Kenya.
The episode features three programs. Mashavu combats the shortage of doctors in eastern Africa by enabling patients in villages to communicate with doctors who are far away. WishVast connects farmers and employers to manufacturers. And Essential Design is a class in which students built things like a greenhouse and an irrigation system with inexpensive, local materials.
It’s inspiring stuff.
