I had the loveliest conversation with a renowned physicist yesterday. He is very engaged in global development work in India and repeatedly emphasized the importance of #Love and the privilege of helping others. He insisted that there are many #Faculty and #Researchers who are personally committed to #Sustainability or #humanitarian work who would be interested in working with my students on #SDG #ProjectChallenges. I came away so encouraged and hopeful

In just a few days, students from #UBuffalo will be traveling to #Tanzania and visiting CLAO, a partnering #NGO in #Mwanza that is engaging a People with Albinism (#PWA) community in #Beekeeping as a way to generate revenue and support their most critical needs including #Education and protection. Our students will help construct the hives and get the project started. We look forward to continued collaboration through #ProjectChallenges https://www.buffalo.edu/eln/students/project-portal/host-page.host.html/content/shared/www/eln/project-portal/project-profiles/active-projects/tanzania-study.detail.html

I work with the most amazing global partners- leaders of grass-roots #NGOs that are working with the most vulnerable communities and ecosystems in West and East Africa. I work with them to create #ProjectChallenges and then engage students via mentored projects and digital badges. My model is called the UB #ProjectPortal and it works really well. We are seeing great benefits for students and partners with regard to capacity building. I would like to share more about my work. I hope it resonates
