UK Field Logistics 5 day Course
Engineers Without Borders UK's
mission is 'to facilitate human development
through engineering'. Entries to our Photography Competition 2008 will
in some
way reflect aspects of our mission, and show and inspire the wider
world about
how engineering can make a difference.
Logistics underpins
project and programme
implementation. The supply of the right materials to the right place at the right time and within budget
is essential to the smooth running
of humanitarian programmes. 'Field Logistics in Emergencies' is being
run in Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, and will take place from 14
-19 September. Application forms and full details of the course are
available at www.redr.org.uk

These communities' best represent the areas that EWB-UK is currently involved in: Energy, Habitat,Information and Communication Technology, Industry, Transpot and Water and Sanitation.
