In this portion of Evoke, I have chosen to shadow two people. First I have chosen to shadow Heather Fleming of Catapult Design. I chose her because her area is technology and design. As a person who has an engineering background her work spoke to the inner nerd in me. Also engineering in of itself is the application scientific discovery for everyday use and to make life easier. By shadowing her I can get ideas on how to use my engineering background to make the lives of people in Africa easier. I have also chosen to shadow Paula Kahumbu of Wildlifedirect. I chose Paula for the simple fact that we need to live with nature and not conquer it. Her conservation work helps people to live in harmony with nature. I will shadow these two individuals by reading their blogs.
As a side note, as a result of reading Heather Fleming's web page I learned about an organization called Engineers Without Borders(EWB). I looked on the web to find out more information about this organization. It is essentially a group of engineers who use their engineering knowledge develop projects to help people all over the world. I was so touched by this organization that I will look to become a member.
