Random Updates

Just posting a periodic update about AITI. This summer, they will be sending teams to Kenya and Ethiopia. I helped review the applicants and am confident that they will do a great job.

Unfortunately, funding is tight this year and AITI was unable to send a third team. Ideally, they would have sent teams to Ghana and Zambia as well. This is the downside of being a student-run program. They will be able to raise money next year and return to Ghana and Zambia.

Incidentally, online tax-deductible donations can be made through the MIT Giving website. Search for "AITI" of "Africa", or enter fund #2720970. Employer matching information is available through the web site.

In personal news, I am completing my PhD this spring and have taken a job at Google in California in the fall.

Cheers.
