Emerge in the Journal and Courier

Posted by Alia on Wednesday, July 23, 2008

Dear Friends,

I hope each of you is having a great summer! I'd like to share two pieces of news with you:

Emerge is in the news today!

The Journal and Courier (West Lafayette's local paper) ran a story on Emerge today! You can read the article online at: http://www.jconline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080723/NEWS/807230310 The story highlights Ellen Sojka's work with Emerge. Ellen is a recent MIT graduate who will be traveling to Sri Lanka this August to develop our programs. Another volunteer, April Wachtel, will be joining her in Sri Lanka in October. We are so excited to be working with both Ellen and April!
