Chris B. Courtin ’10 (left) and Feruz, from the village of Kumudo near Arsi Negele, pounded coffee beans during Chris's time in Ethiopia with the Princeton chapter of Engineers Without Borders (EWB) in 2008. He was part of a team that built an irrigation system for the village, using two locally produced treadle pumps in a design that does not use fossil fuels or require expensive upkeep.
EWB-Princeton involves students and faculty of all backgrounds who are seeking to learn about international development through the fields of anthropology, language, history, and cultural studies.
