MIT Students Drive Across One-fourth of the World for Charity
Summary
The rally supports several charities including Mercy Corps (www.mercycorps.org), who strive to alleviate poverty through sustainable means and Send a Cow (www.sendacow.org.uk), which provides veterinary services and livestock to poor farmers in Africa and Asia.Contest organizers are adamant that the task be difficult, require true adventure, necessitate interactions with local communities, and perhaps even involve horseback riding when all else fails and the end is in sight.The whole thing is just a huge question mark.” The team has already accumulated some filming experience during student projects and international travel and the group plans to post photo and video reviews of their trek as regularly during the journey as they can find internet access.The rally supports several charities including Mercy Corps (www.mercycorps.org), who strive to alleviate poverty through sustainable means and Send a Cow (www.sendacow.org.uk), which provides veterinary services and livestock to poor farmers in Africa and Asia.The whole thing is just a huge question mark.”The team has already accumulated some filming experience during student projects and international travel and the group plans to post photo and video reviews of their trek as regularly during the journey as they can find internet access.
