June 2, 2008 – Lori Hanna, Executive Director of Salud del Sol, presented the solar autoclave project at the National Conference on Volunteering and Service in Atlanta, Georgia. The solar autoclave project was a Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Partnership Foundation CASE grant winner in January 2008 (see ServiceBook.org). Four such winners were invited to present during the conference’s second session on Monday, “University-Community Partnerships: A mutually beneficial alliance for students and community” at The Carter Center, moderated by Dr. Sue Sehgal, Foundation president and founder. See the link below for more information on the conference.
While there, each of the four students’ videos were presented (view Lori’s YouTube Video), followed by a short update by each student and a question and answer session. The presentations, questions, and answers were incredibly energetic, and many people are interested in the possibilities of cooperation between universities and communities. The opportunity helped to expand the network of Salud del Sol, as business and personal information was exchanged with many groups interested in helping with or learning from the evolution of the autoclave project.
