Neil writes a fantastic blog entry about a service experiment that he and friends engaged in recently, and reflections. Snippets: "On the main pathway between a slum in Ranip and Manav Sadhna, a stream had built up due to the persistent rain we've been getting lately. The issue was that kids from the slum trying to get to MS had to cross the stream daily or more with no proper way to walk, and between the water's filthiness and the pressure it was rushing with, it was becoming a dangerous situation. [...] There was much food for thought from this experience, but I'll focus on two personal key takeaways. The first -- I came in with the expectation that building a bridge is a self-contained problem, mostly involving engineering the right physical solution. But really it was a people, money, motivation, even political problem, at least as much as it was technical. Second takeaway was a question to ponder: When performing actions, is the right intention enough?" http://bit.ly/b5idgB
